Hidden in plain site it's like Area 51.

Next time you are downwind 30R in the daytime you are flying over about 10,000 cows. They have little sun-shelters in Al Kwahneej. It surprised the crap out of me when I got lost coming back free Nav from Sharjah and ended up at the Al Rawabi farm.

Loads of chickens too, 50,000 tons or so and a hell of a lot of eggs (had to google that one). Most of the farms are indoor, you see them all over the place, even the reservoirs that supply them are covered, that ultra low building on the 30 approach is a reservoir.

Now pigs......ok you got me on that one but I hear the subsidies offered by the Government are amazing!
