With no map or no road signs, there’s a very good chance that a truck driver might get lost in the desert. And there´s little chance of help if something should happen.
Because here, between Doha, Qatar, and Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, even the local drivers got lost. “Fourteen people are said to have simply vanished out there in less than a year. I´m not scared, but you have to admit, it´s quite a challenge,” Jan says.
The major cities of the Gulf - Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi - are today filled with ultramodern highways and towering skyscrapers. It’s hard to imagine now, but when Jan made his journey in 1976, there was no paved road connecting Doha and Dubai.
