I think Kunal is right. I also think it is Etisalat being over-agressive 
with caching so they save money with their overseas bandwidth. Cheapskates.

When I was an Etisalat customer and editing the ski club website I had 
just the same problem.

If you have no querie on the URL you can put a fake one there. My pages 
were static and I just added "?123" to the end of the URL. The web 
server ignored the querie because it wasn't coded to be read, but the 
etisalat cache saw it as a different page.

I seem to remember I had to do that with the bbc news site as well so I 
could get the UK front page instead of the international one.
