People who have been born and brought up here, must have tons of memories of the UAE landscape and nature.

I would like to encourage every member here to help us take a trip down memory lane and post whichever photos you have lying around, or what you have found online. (mention the source).

Focus is on Nature (deserts and mountains) and Offroad.

I know how much u love me, but those images are from my father-in-law era. I can see 1984 Pajero Gen 1 and Patrol MQ (I think).
