Geometry of the Northern Emirate

From the place where I'm staying, some taxis go to the first round about, turn right, drive about 2 km to the light, turn left, drive about 6 km, and arrive at the place where I work. Others go to the second roundabout, turn left, drive about 1 km, turn right, drive about 5 km, and arrive at the place where I work.

In Euclidean geometry, this is not possible.

So the Northern Emirate where I'm working has a non-Euclidean geometry.

Which doesn't surprise me.
