Hi Babylons, We'll try and find out but in the meantime why don't you contact Arte.... Did a bit of googling and they are selling the flag cushions in their online shop so they must have the vendors contact http://www.etsy.com/shop/artedubai HTH and will let you know if we find out.?.. Or if you're feeling crafty you could make one yourself.... There's a template here... http://www.dltk-kids.com/canada/mflag.htm EW Admin

We'd love to do the drive- but yes 1,300 km- one day- we know some people have done it and it's an amazing adventure. It's not that big there so you could stay in one place- we stayed in the Hilton. There is a really good but slightly old blog that features the trip here http://salalahtrip.blogspot.com/ Things might have changed a little bit.

Hi there! Some of us have been from the office and it is worth the trip http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_travel_adventure_Trip_to_Salalah_Oman_8611.aspx Some flew direct some went via Muscat. Car hire there is quite cheap and worth it to explore the area- there's mile upon mile of untouched beaches and lots of sights to see. It feels really different to here. Plus it's the Khareef festival at the moment there and it's a lot cooler. If you do go have a fab time! HTH

Hi All! Just been checking this for you On the new silver licences it says "light vehicle" meaning a car and not a truck or motorbike. On old gold licences on the front it says Vehicle Permitted: 3- which when you check what number 3 is on the back is also "light vehicle" On the gold licences if on the front next to the number 3 you have a star that means you are a spectacles wearer- so it would say 3/* If you have a round dot next to the 3 that means you can drive an automatic vehicle only.
