Hello Saeed Hope all is going well in Dubai for yourself and family. Was looking at a very interesting website on the Arabian Oryx specie mainly found in Saudi, but some apparantly also in some wildlife park or privately owned in UAE ... Do you have any yourself, or know of any in UAE as they are a beautiful specie Regards, Peter | ||

I have been to Dubai many times, and I always stay at the Grand Hyatt. They have always had these post cards with photos of Gemsbok on them. The card incorrectly claims they are Arabian Oryx. But they are tan and not white, and muscular and not dainty like Arabian Oryx are. They must have got those photos somewhere. | |||

BTW her is that very interesting website / Arabia Oryx take care and all the best for the future Hey Saeed // When that new tower is completed in Dubai you will be able to spy on me from the top it is so high (-: Peter | |||

They are beautiful animals. I lived in Saudi as a child and they had some in captivity close to our house in Abqaiq. It was probably some sort of captive breeding program, but all of us kids thought it was our own private zoo. ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

That's great news! I doubt that they'll be in large enough numbers to hunt in Dubai but perhaps someday, somewhere on the Penninsula . . . Sarge Holland's .375: One Planet, One Rifle . . . for one hundred years! | |||
