In case you thought it’s only new houses on a desert…
It’s been a while since I took any photos of the developments in Mangaf… But this was taken from Al-Kout Mall in Fahaheel (the town next door) and it shows all the residential buildings by the sea.

The new part of Mangaf is all houses and schools but this should provide you with a different perspective. The buildings closer (on the left of the photo) come under Fahaheel but the ones in the distance are Mangaf-by-Sea.

 

Light at the end of the …

April 15, 2007
I have to admit, it sometimes feels like nothing ever happens here for months. But when I look at the photographs I take in this area I realise that there is progress being made on building the local schools (and some shops) – as well as the new petrol stations (will have a separate post soon).

 

Still no roads on my side of town – which can be fun at times but is usually a pain…

I took this photo recently of the roads near the coastal road (The Hilton Resort) and they’ve erected the posts to hold the street lamps…. I know it sounds a little sad but I’m really excited that we will be having LIGHT AT NIGHT!

Can’t wait for the road network to reach us – but for some reason nothing is happening on that front.

Watch this space…

Time for a fresh supply

March 10, 2007
 
I have not taken any photos of the recent developments…. This, I hope, will be my last of the old batch (I still have a few but will not blog them here). I will soon get out there (once the dust storms are gone) and get a fresh supply.
 
 
The sewage tanker in the photograph drives around selling his services. As disgusting as it sounds it is one of the most important jobs in the area to sustain it until the services are completed.
