In Al Awafi desert, a group of horsemen start searching for
troublemakers. A falcon with seven stars symbioses the seven emirates. The
horsemen traditional headgear is wrapped around their foreheads to protect them
from un predictable weather. Each emirate has a horse patrol division to
monitor areas out of cities. They are armed only with mobile phones and
walkie-talkies. Their weapon is their silence. Their role is to be the eye in
the desert.
The horsemen do their rounds quietly. They stand for a few minutes,
listening for any signs of trouble. Horsemen often get stopped by people who
want to ride. Horsemen sometime get bugged by drivers. But the riders try to
stay focused.
The horsemen from India. A tempts for years to recruit Emirati
horsemen have not succeeded. The horsemen have their break in summer, however
they are busy in winter, when everyone campuses in the desert. AL Awafi is
popular for the desert. The horsemen work in shifts.
