Neighborhoods Without Roads

June 9, 2009

With the works beginning around Mangaf to connect us to the road network, I thought I should capture a few shots of how life is today.  People have created neighbourhoods, driveways and even gardens before any sign of planning.  This relative feeling of stability is about to be disturbed for a while, with all the digging and construction, before leaving a clean finished look for the final phase of this town.

Hilton Facebook Group

I came across this Facebook group for users of the Hilton in Mangaf.  Whilst it doesn’t have much information of events, it does have a fun feel and there are many members.  It hasn’t been updated for some time – but they may post some interesting news/information about the place.

Check it out by clicking here.

Finally Signs of Action

June 4, 2009

It looks like something is about to finally happen.  Saturday (we don’t know which one but possibly the day after tomorrow) this ‘road’ will be closed.  It’s the main entrance to Mangaf from the North at the exit from the highway.
