Horseback patrol is back in Dubai

The distinctive clippity clop of hooves heralds the arrival of the Mounted Police along the night street in Dubai.  These mounted patrols can also go through narrow areas that police cars can't reach.  The fact that the officers are mounted also helps them cover large areas.  About 200 horses make up the main Bur Dubai Mounted Police Department and its other branch in Deira.
