Illuminating copy in the caption, and very biographical: "Away from town, not everything depends on oil."

The New York Times thinks you should go to Dubai. I was sold on the idea in earlier spreads in the New Yorker and in Vanity Fair, really, but look! - we can be eco-tourists in Dubai, in reaches of desert where "not everything depends on oil." !!!!!!

Go, traveler, to Dubai, for the docile, earth-kind Orientalist fantasias of a not-very-hot-at-all-for-the-desert-really desert vacation. And one that is eco-friendly, in-sha’allah.
