The shock, isn't it? At six o'clock in Abu Dhabi, all modes of transportation are frightening. The rock is 9 kilometers by 5, peaking at 98 meters, and is assured that it houses 10, 000 Dalmiens descendant from the man of the age of the stone through the perlier boom. The central saline cone, released from a comatose volcano, spread like a puddle of liquid rock, pushing a brown magma to the tortured side. And nothing more than today, that the minarets of mosques and some administrative buildings whose new appearance bears witness to the strong state presence on this island strategically placed with the Barbe Barbe, in a sector also where the Saudi navy sometimes allows some irritating visits.Thus Dalma is this island rich in clear water wells, which, until the advent of dessalinisation, offered bienfaiteurs flows to the Dhabiens on the mainland. It is still a prehistoric theatre where the man copied the poterie pottery of the time of Sumerians, hunted the dugong and splattering the first noyaux. It is also the country of elperlado which, from the th to the early th century, provided Europe's finest jewellers with fine pearls, these splendid @ extracted from the depths often at risk of human life. The Venetian jeweller Gasparo Balbi, the first witness of these ancient times, was sailing from Basra when he approached Delmephilmas in 1580. His story (original sold by Christie's in 2005) published at Camillo Borgominieri ten years later leads us to neighbouring India.Today's Emiriens almost all have a great father who, leaving the family in Liwa, was summer by here on the oyster benches, torturing his fingers on the pinctada so that one day at Cartier we make a necklace. At the turn of the 50 th century, the activity involved up to 10 crews of men between the ages of and who were leaving for four months during the summer season: times a day, the diver, equipped with a nasal pince made from turtle pine and stalls skin, joined the bottom of a stone and less than two minutes later, loaded with shells, left a rope to the surface. In the evening, after a little dinner, all of them together opened the oysters to find the possible trophy, of course, by the captain of the boat. All esclaves slaves, white gold at the time.No commercial adventure story will tell the symbolic force of Dalma. If there is nothing left or almost successive periods, if the journey only reserves disappointment to those who come to search for historical emotion, the picturesque oriental, the immediate exoticism, the natural joliesse, it says something more serious and more true. A way of confidence geography, when the breath of off civilization, like Rodrigues, as in St. Helena, gives you the possibility of an escape ségalienne experience.So this is Dalma. A confluence of dream and useless.
