President Bush Visits Dubai - Motorcade Pics!
President Bush visited Abu Dhabi two days ago and then Dubai yesterday. I think it was his first visit here ever. All of Dubai was basically shut down yesterday. They declared a Emirate-wide private and public holiday late on Sunday afternoon. Many roads were to be closed for the better part of the day.
A friend snapped these pictures out of his apartment window. It's the President's motorcade. Very interesting!
This road is never desolate like this!
Notice the police at the bottom right.
Police helicopter hovering overhead as the motorcade passed.
This is Sheikh Mohammad's car. Notice the license plate number "1". He usually drives this himself.
Motorcade Limos.
Not sure what's in this car/truck. Looks "special" though.
Sallelite communications/tracking car?
Three identical Escalades... tight formation.
But someone's peeking out...
Could that be President Bush?... I think it is.Update: Now I'm not so sure... here is a pic of him that day from the local newspaper. What do you think? Tie matches but the coat might be too dark in the photo.

Scary :o
Thank God they re-opened the roads though :)
yeah.. it's him.
it looks like him. i've never seen Dubai this empty before, and it's rather sad that there has to a city wide shut down of businesses to allow for Bush to drive through. obviously he will get to see the city at its best.

The boxy black car in the motorcade is an ambulance. Most times when you see a local ambulance in a motorcade it's in the motorcade for show, all the equipment is stripped and a counter assault, swat-type team is deployed within.
The open window you see is not the US President it's an agent within his protective detail on a clearer lookout of the route.
