Desert Camp 1



A lot of camping going on once the weather changes. This is my Company camp site where we can go with our family (it's free of cost) and spend the day. A lot of games for kids (volleyball, basketball, a common room with a television and foosball and the best thing... a huge trampoline.

Also, for minimal charges, a short horse ride, donkey ride, sand buggy ride or dirt biking.

Sacrificial Lamb


Muslim's celebrated "Bakri Eid". This sheep was killed on the morning of Eid (just as Abraham killed a lamb instead of his son thus obeying God's word)

The Fish Market Restaurant



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This restaurant is in the area known as Abu Halifa (lining the Beach road.) The food, although a little expensive, was extremely tasty. You get to select the fish, prawns, lobsters or crabs before your meal and then you have a choice of grilled, fried, steamed etc. The ambiance was good, the food, as I mentioned, was extremely tasty but the Fillipina girl serving us was a little grumpy. Maybe she was ill or something???!!! All in all, it was a good treat and we definitely recommend the place.
