Shaun's getting high on the hubbly-bubbly... :3
I spy with my eye... Arabic costumes
Yes of course what else can we do with Arabic costumes?
It is surprsingly cooling and desert friendly!
Including the Shaun-fied versions!
Breaking out for the BBQ and buffet dinner for the night!
There are several local Arabian cusines served
Some which are look really bizzare!
The queues are long!
And the food good too!
We get unlimited visits to the buffet too! *grins*
Dessert in the Desert anyone?
While filling our bellies with food...
we were treated to traditional Belly dancing
Man! she is good!
clap clap clap!
The dance floor open for all dancers for the night
Shaun having a go at the Henna painting room
A work of art in the making
Look a viper!
Jeff has one too!
A scorpion!
The place is nicely lit in the night
Time to hit the dunes back!
Refilling our 4x4 tires before hitting the highway again
Back at our hotel by 11pm! Thats all folks!
Up in the morning!
For a quick morning tour of the hertiage sights in Dubai
Open top buses just like driving a convertible!
Some of the great sights along the way
The Dubai Skyline in the distance
Here we are at the Creek
Along Al Seef Road
A mix of old and new boats alike
We will be having a river cruise here later in the day, but first...
The back in town for...
The Dubai Musesum!
It's located in the Al Fahidi Fort right in town
The Museum entrance
No historical museum is complete without cannon entrances!
Inside the main fort
Beached boats.. mmm
Looks like this won't be much of a use... :P
An open well, with ground water too!
There are many tents you can never fit into
Lets head indoors!
Few of the air conditioned displays
Inside the traditional straw houses
Inside a living area
The houses are surprisingly cool under the sun
