Have you tried pressing Ctrl f5 to refresh when you've typed in the actual web address? That refreshes your cache so that might work too.

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.
