Salik

In Arabic, Salik means a person who enganged in Islamic spiritual path. Salik is a road toll which was introduced in July of 2007. It currently costs me AED8 to travel to work and back. In September it will cost me AED16! I moved to Dubai because it was tax free - I consider this toll a tax! Humph - well at least there is no snow; but with global warming that could be around the corner. Speaking of around the corner, there is talk about introducing VAT!
