internal border between Sharjah and Dubai, both of which are <br/>
actually Kingdoms ruled by &#39;Emirs&#39;, the general atmosphere at <br/>
the border is that of an international border between <br/>
well-meaning neighbors like Canusa.<br/>
<br/>
thats strange<br/>
do you mean they even have customs & immigration controls etc<br/>
<br/>
 <br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; In the past, before the formation of the United Arab Emirates, <br/>
 </span></blockquote>Sharjah and Dubai had many border disputes and the issue <br/>
was finally resolved by demarcation of the border which you can <br/>
see in the pics. The Red and White border posts are the original <br/>
border demarcators. The fence is put up by the Dubai <br/>
Government on its side of the border. <br/>
<br/>
is that really a fence<br/>
or just a line of posts<br/>
<br/>
stranger still if just posts as it appears <br/>
<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; The third pic about public decency is interesting.<br/>

but in that case there are no other markers of any kind in sight<br/>
<br/>
like just a garment change rather than a pavement change<br/>
<br/>
it might be fun to make a collection of borders where this occurs<br/>
<br/>

 </span></blockquote>but this is the biggest curiosity yet<br/>
& i can only guess at its meaning<br/>
hmm<br/>
how about<br/>
obeying minimal nudity makes sharjah virtually yours</div>
