Dubai (entry 2)

Continuation of Dubai Entry 1


**

After having been indulged in the desert's dune adventures, it was time for the next part of the Dune Bashing Activity and the best part too: The Bedouin Tent/Camp where the buffet is (and the Belly dancers where supposed to be). Because it was Ramadan season, Belly dancing was cancelled. Even if the belly dancing part was omitted for the night, it was still fun, coz the rest of the tents and booths in the Bedouin camp were still around: like the henna tatoo booth, the Arab costume booth (i forgot what they called it), the market/souk booth and many others.

Some pics of the night. (both from the DSLR and the digicam)




some bird on display...and the eagle too:-)



talking to the bird..Leah is wearing on her shoulders a pashmina i gave her from my India trip..

my foot..forgive the dust, we were barefoot in the sand



Leah's turn




we sure did enjoy it



trying on for Arabic costumes



Leah said she didnt fancy being underneath all that clothing in the heat



only an arabic headgear was all he could take under the heat..he was feeling the temperature more than we did




after the Desert adventure, we went back to the city..
