Dubai: From camel polo to belly dancing

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

On our second last day we had the chance to try a Desert Safari. I was a little nervous having heard stories of jeeps tumbling onto their sides and hurtling down dunes at 100 miles an hour, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience.

We piled into our 4x4s and our charming guide drove us into the desert an hour outside Dubai. It was a relief to have a respite from the skyscrapers and construction work in the city. The scenery was amazing, with perfect sand dunes and camels walking by in single file.

We then arrived at Bediun style candlelit camp, where we had henna tattoos and a barbecue dinner. Pictured below is a belly dancer who managed to get a few of the guys' hips moving!

The group flew back on a British Airways night flight on Tuesday, happy, slightly saddle-sore and full of activity ideas for their clients travelling to Dubai.
