Swimming Pool Project

Today, as I was wandering around Oud Metha, I saw a large number of signs that were not there last week. They said either, ‘Swimming Pool Project,’ or ‘Swimming Pool Project Site,’ and ‘Dubai Municipality.’ There were signs planted along the roadside for several hundred meters on both sides of the site. Each sign had an arrow directing some person or persons unknown toward the site. The contractors have started digging a large hole in the centre of the site, which seems reasonable for a swimming pool site.

The site is located next to St. Thomas Orthodox Church, which is also a big construction site: the church seems to be adding a new wing, almost doubling its size.
