Desert Safari

desert safari

Stranded in a desert? Sort of. I went for the Desert Safari during the weekend. I went down in order to have the bunch of hills be captured in the photo. It was sunny yet windy that my face was almost covered by hair. This was taken before the dune bashing. I also did a camel ride, asked to dance with the belly dancer, feasted on Arabian dinner, got my first ever tattoo (a temporary one that you’ll often notice in Arab women’s hands), and more. I’ll let you know how terrific the experience was once I’m done sorting the photos.

For tonight, I still need to catch up on sleep and need to stabilize my groove first as the work week kicked off today. I hope you all had a great weekend, too.

That’s a great way to spend a weekend -adventure nga! The dunes look so peaceful, but I can imagine it must be a harsh environment.
Looking forward to your great photos!
