Finally, an Early Morning Walk : August 22 2024

Finally, a morning walk!

Finally, after many months, I had the energy to get out for an early morning walk. I slept with a very bad headache the night before, most probably due to lack of sleep from the last two nights where I was up until past 3.00am. 🧟‍♀️

Fortunately, despite only 5 hours of sleep last night, I woke up at 6.00 am with a light feeling and motivated me to go out for a short walk.

I decided to go towards the Al Mamoura /Al Nahyan area, a direction facing the sun. It's simply for the reason that if ever the sun would get too hot when I go back, at least my back would be to the sun, not my face. 🤪

Breezy Morning

It was unexpectedly quite breezy, something I did not expect for this time of the year. I honestly thought it would be a harsh, hot, and humid walk. Thankfully, it was very pleasant!

The construction workers were already busy with their work at just 6.30 am. During summer, when the heat could reach over 50°c (123°F) construction works are halted during mid-day so they compensate this with night and early morning hours.

I've written about my walks here in Al Mamoura before, but I guess this is the first time I walked here in daytime, so here are some photos.

Stop and smell the flowers! Errm, of course, I did not smell them. 🤧

I continued walking towards Shk. Zayed Bin Sultan (Salam) Street. Here, I passed by the Mamoura British School. It's a very nice area- I shared some night photos here before.

At the end of the road, I took a right and walked towards Al Nahyan Park.

Conveniently, there was a lane designated for walkers and bikers. And yes, I thought there weren't many bikers pass by, so I initially took the bike lane. 😅 Then, beep! Beep! ooopsie, there was a scooter behind me. Lol. Instead of overtaking me, he really stayed on his lane, and made me move away. Loool.

I really enjoyed my early morning walk. Hopefully, I will get another restful sleep tonight that I would have the energy to go on another walk tomorrow morning.
