Euphorbia (Euphorbia larica), Sultanate of Oman 🇴🇲
Euphorbia larica (cactus-like in appearance) is one of the commoner plants in Oman (where it is known as isbaq), found from sea-level to 1500m. Like many other Euphorbiaceae, it produces abundant white milky sap ( latex-like) when the stems are broken. This sap is not an irritant, but may be poisonous when ingested.

Pink Rock, Sharjah Emirates, UAE
Pink Rock (Sharjah Emirates and not Dubai) is part of the ridge which runs from Ras Al Khaimah to Al Ain. All along this ridge, in one specific and distinct layer, the same type of fossils can be found. However, they are not always easily accessible or even visible. If you have a sharp eye and are lucky to spot fossils, you can see “gastropods”. Those creatures crawled on the ocean floor many million years ago when seawater covered most of the land, currently known as Arabia.
