Nobleman,

Awel Daalo ma Ilma abu sita lahaa?

No apprantley abu sita family had nothing to do with it anymore. I was bemused cos i thought abu sita was wealthy, but apprantley he sold to dubai world or some other UAE based company that was affected by the reccession and they felt it was no longer finacially viable.

Thing is with these airlines they simply lease the planes from a third party and often make only 40 dollars or so per seat.

Have they had any accidents? I always wondered how you guys (Reer Somalia) flew with these 'airlines'?, The planes must be old and crap surely?

^That is the strange thing about them, they have barely had any accidents. They are pretty safe

But the service is crap and there is no air conditioning inside (this is especially annoying when the plane is waiting on the landing strip, gets very hot inside )

No air conditioning and they fly to Berbera and Bosasso? wow, that is a punishment.

Dawwa: do you know Jubba hotel in Dubai, near the fish market and opposite the Gold Souq Bus Stop?

Nobleman,

Ma faa;idadaa ah $40.00 a seat...?

If that is the case..If 500 people flew every month this $20,000.00 a month which is $240.000.00 a year...Not bad..

$240.000.00 in Somalia is not bad...Plus their other side business..But I am really sorry to hear that they don't own it anymore...

[dawwa9]

Sometimes they let the passengers wait for 35 minutes inside with the heath

Even with elderly people inside

^Jubba hotel, Yes, near the entrance of the gould souq?

I was there few months ago and a strange thing happened. an old lady entered the hotel and asked bluntly ' are you reer qalaf ?'. I was reading the Gulf News and I replied 'no'. And she left me alone. My question to you is: is that a MJ owned hotel? if you know that is.

I dont know the folks who own it, just some mediocre hotel, never paid too much attention to it.

Most of the somali businesses in the UAE are either owned by Isaaq or MJ's so could be

It was a nice place bro, 45 UAE Dirhams a night

Dubai is fake though, we went to Dubai Mall (and snow), what a strange place. I guess most Somalis there are MJs and Idoor, cos I heard their accents alot.

[dawwa9]

Dubai is fake though

Explain?

What is ''real''

Ideally yes it certainly profitable. But there is a lot of costs beyond actually flying i.e the labour in Dubai, Djoubti, Somalia, paying taxes and under hand payments to somaliland politicians

I was expecting to see some desert inside the city, but nothing, everything is built up and concrete. It is clean and green.

Are u in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?

Bro I was at city gold hotel 2 months ago, 100 dirhams per night and i thought that was pretty cheap.

Biggest Bargain was a somali taxi driver who drove me all the way from dubai to ajman, must of been an 1hrs drive, providing sheer entertainment along the way, he said 40 dirhams, couldnt beleive it as he had to drive all the way back as well.

Unlike high flying city accountants, I am always broke bro. I dont think I could afford 100 dirhams a night hotel for 2 weeks (I take it only sleeping). Yes, Somali taxi drivers are cool and but not always cheap. One night, Somali bloke from Djibouti charged me 40 dirhams and on the way back, the official taxi (the ubiquitous yellow ones) cost was just 20 dirhams, I felt cheated by my brethens.
