A popular postcard series and a much appreciated postcard in my letterbox, cortesy of the Consortium Phantom&Flying Dutchman Inc. Thanks a lot, guys. Truly nice!

The 3 dirham stamp was issued on 01JAN1973 as part of a 12 stamp set illustrated with the Flag, the Coat of Arms and photos from sights in the United Arab Emirates. This particular stamp carries an image of what I believe is the port of the  limestone quarry at  Khor Khwair, the biggest in the world, in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven Emirates federated in the State.

The bicolor postmark, carrying the Emirates Post logo originated at the Exchange Centre in Dubai
