Casa Arabe is committed to being a meeting point between Spain and the Arab world

Ruby Mathew got her driving licence just three months back. The Al Ain-based nurse from the south Indian state of Kerala went through one of her most dreadful moments when her car's tyre burst during a drive from Al Ain to Abu Dhabi, that too in a deserted place on a Friday morning.
And she got help from the most unexpected hands. Abu Dhabi policemen came to her rescue after they received a call from her husband Mathew Joy, who was at his workplace in Abu Dhabi airport. The police, with the help from two workers from a nearby farm, changed the tyre.
"I was driving at 120kmph and the tyre exploded as I got closer to the Al Kahazna exit on the Al Ain-Abu Dhabi highway. The car automatically began swerving to the right," she recalled.
The vehicle came to a screeching halt and Ruby double-parked the vehicle near the entrance of a farm in Al Ain.
She was driving to meet her husband Mathew Joy, an employee at the Abu Dhabi airport, to head out for a social event on last Friday.

However, as Ruby got out of her car, she realised that there was no one in sight, and very few vehicles were passing down the highway. "I got my driver's licence about three months ago. And this was my very first accident. I was worried as I'd never changed the tyres of a car before," she said.
