Post Box: A rare find



I have been looking for a post box since I arrived in Dubai about three months ago. Finally we found one at Diera City Centre today, which is a very busy and noisy mall, I hope to avoid.

Beside the red post box is a much bigger thrash bin. What fantastic company this post box has got!

This post box is so small, and it is hardly full. It is easy to understand why. As it is hard to buy postage stamps, there must be scant need for many and large post boxes like we have back home. Furthemore Dubai does not have a zip or postal code system. It is the same in Ireland but the postmen in Ireland knows their way, I am not sure about Dubai. Taxi drivers routinely lose their way, which is not a problem for them as the bill is passed on to you.
