It’s a land of ideas, of insatiable hopes, of progress, and motion and change.

A place where the sky does not hold limitations and where the impossible is ever so strange.

Its steps are hurried and its strides are many as it’s continually setting the pace.

But just beside it walking confidently is its other self, the true essence of this complex place.

It continues to survive amidst the landscape of change and was there long before modern day,

It is deeply rooted in history and faith and despite progress that’s where it has stayed.

It lives in the sand and in the concrete of the city, it rises with the Arabian sun.

It is found in the unguarded moments of prayer and in each whispered voice one by one.

If you listen you’ll hear it and looking you’ll see what else of this place so enthralls….

It’s the mindful silence, the quiet in between, the reverence that permeates all.
