EID Holidays Part II - Desert Safari

Img_0058Dubai Desert Safari is truly an exciting and a breath taking experience. My sister Fe, Myla and Me went for an off road Arabian Adventure in the heart of the golden sand dune  desert of Dubai.  Early morning of November 3 the three of us are all excited for the adventure.  We had our brunch and prepare for the trip.

After traveling for about 45 minuites, we reach the destination - Dune Bashing, carried by 4WD Toyota Land Cruiser we had the Arabian roller coaster ride.  We took several photographs as the sun descends, a fading background of the desert dunes. Img_0073

On the way to the campsite, we had an opportunity to ride the camel.  A welcome drink of traditional coffee and dates sweet was offered upon our arrival on the site.  While waiting for the dinner, prepared on the sides of the stage for the Belly dancing-the main attraction, we manage to do several activities such as Img_0068 hubbly bubly water pipes - Seesha, Henna tattoo (only FFe & Myla) and of course wearing the traditional costume.  A cultural activity such as this is  really a good tool for better understanding.  Since it was on a holiday, mix of different cultures was there, people from Asia, Europe and America.  Life in the East is really Img_0071 Img_0060 Uaedesertsnstb4615 amazing and unique… tell you more next time…..
