What do two Christians do on the Islamic Sabbath during Ramadan in Dubai?? Go to the desert, of course. They had the Safari on this Sabbath day but eliminated the belly dancer and alcohol. Shucks, I was looking forward to the belly dancer. We had a lazy day and a nice lunch before departure to the desert.
First we had a daredevil ride through the sandunes in our four-wheel dunebuggy with a wild driver and about 30 other buggies. Great fun!
Then we visited the camels, and yes, Marilyn loves even ugly, nasty animals!
Then we went on a camel ride! Great fun!
Sand boarding is my latest sport. I got to the bottom before falling!
Next was the henna design. Marilyn has a hand design and I now have a spider on my arm!
Then we had a delicious barbeque at the camp in the desert while watching he sun go down. Beautiful! We sat on ground-level cushions and low tables. Nice effect, until you had to get up that is! Our speedy driver got us back to the hotel in good time and it was a great second day in the desert of the United Arab Emirate.
Tomorrow is another day in Dubai. Stay tuned.
Joe
