When I'm doing more than just catching up on my watchlist, I write articles and content and generally try to build coverage of the Emirates. A resident here since 1993, I'm particularly interested in UAE history, archaeology and Emirati things in general - particularly in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. I've spent much of the past 38 years living in and travelling around the Middle East
I'm useless at source editing and am frequently to be found at the site of train crashes trying to look innocent and sidle away. Give me Visual Editor, then I'm yer man...
I consult on publishing, media, communications and international relations by day and write novels and history books and stuff by night.
I've so far created (in no particular order):
Al Heera • Sharjah Fort • Sharjah Wanderers • Al Mahatta Fort • Hatta Fort Hotel • Al Bithnah • Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club • Mleiha Archaeological Centre • Wasit Wetland Centre • Wadi Suq Culture • Ed Dur • Al Thuqeibah • Al Madam • Mohammed bin Rashid Global Initiatives • Hafit period • Muweilah • Dubai International Writers' Centre • Rain Room • Pink Caravan • Wadi Bih • Jebel Al Buhais • Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve • Al Ashoosh • Bidaa Bint Saud • Qattara Oasis • List of Ancient Settlements in the UAE • Al Falayah Fort • Al Faqa • Umm Al Quwain Fort • Margham • Saih Al Salam • Nazwa • Al Lisaili • Al Sajaa • Al Zahra Hospital • Sharjah Police Force • Mahdha • Seih Al Harf • Thameed • Obeid bin Said bin Rashid • Rashid bin Maktoum • Maktoum bin Hasher Al Maktoum • Dunes (stamps) • Persian Gulf campaign of 1819 • Hassan bin Rahma Al Qasimi • Al Zorah • Saqr bin Rashid Al Qasimi • Salim bin Sultan Al Qasimi • Saqr bin Khalid Al Qasimi • Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi • Khalid bin Ahmad Al Qasimi • Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi II • Rashid bin Matar Al Qasimi • Humaid bin Abdullah Al Qasimi • Sultan bin Salim Al Qasimi • Rashid bin Majid Al Mualla • Ahmad bin Abdullah Al Mualla • Hamad bin Ibrahim Al Mualla • Ali bin Abdullah Al Mualla • Mubazzara Dam • Abdelaziz bin Rashid Al Nuaimi • Abdulaziz bin Humaid Al Nuaimi • Humaid bin Abdulaziz Al Nuaimi • Al Mualla • Hamad bin Abdullah Al Sharqi • Saif bin Hamad Al Sharqi • Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi • Na'im • Al Sharqi • Saeed bin Tahnun Al Nahyan • Khalifa bin Shakhbut Al Nahyan • Tahnun bin Shakhbut Al Nahyan • Buraimi Dispute • Jiri plain • Bani Kaab • Hamdan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan • Kunud • Al Bu Muhair • Arab Reading Challenge • Mazari • Manasir (tribe) • Sharqiyin • Dhawahir • The Founder's Memorial • Sudan (tribe) • Gainsborough Stud • Duru (tribe) • Awamir • Bani Hadiyah • Archaeology of the United Arab Emirates • the Arab Strategy Forum • Random International • Budi Tek • Iron Age in the United Arab Emirates • Battle of Dibba • Heart of Sharjah • Sharjah Investment and Development Authority • Al Hefaiyah Conservation Centre • Bait Al Naboodah • the Battle of Dhank • Awhala Fort • Wadi Hayl • Wadi Saham • Wadi Qor • Wadi Siji • Wadi Helo (wadi) • Wadi Shawka • Wadi Sal • Wadi Tuwa • Wadi Maydaq • Wadi Esfai • Wadi Asimah • Wadi Ejili • Wadi Fara • Wadi Sidr • Wadi Tayyibah • Wadi Naqab • Tahil (Sharjah) • Samuel Hennell • Al Hayl Fort • Ghayl Fort • Hyacinth incident • The Flying Saucer, Sharjah • Taryam Omran Taryam • Abdullah Omran Taryam • Ibrahim Bin Mohammed Al Midfa • Al Bait Hotel • Ajman Fort • Al Bithnah Fort • Labsah • Tayyibah • Habus • Kalba Fort • Perpetual Maritime Truce • Dhaid Fort • Air Outpost • Wadi Shie • Elphinstone Inlet • Fili Fort • Abdulrahman bin Muhammad Al Shamsi • Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo • Kalba Ice Factory • Al Suhub Rest House • Siniyah Island • Khawatir • Al Bu Kharaiban and some other stuff, too.
