Dashing through the Desert

As Mum and Dad have travelled on to Thailand for 2 weeks, we decided to take them on a desert safari rather than give them a gift for Christmas. It's high season here so there were a lot of people in out group.

We got picked up from home then drove out into the desert.

The sand in the desert is so different from beach sand, it feels great between your toes. There were 7 of us in the 4WD includint the driver. It was fun going up and down the dunes, especially the big ones!

Here are all the cars in the background. These were just from the company we were safaring with.

The sunset over the rolling dunes was stunning. The sand was literally glowing red. Then we headed off for dinner in a majalis type arabian tent. We rode camels and Mum and I had henna done. We also watched a belly dancer. A good time had by all!
