In Abu Dhabi we went on a Desert Safari. We were picked up by bus and drove for about 1.5 hours until we got to the open desert. We were first given an Arabic coffee. They were explaining to us that if someone gives you a half filled cup it means that you are welcome but if you are given a full cup you are not welcome. Next we rode on a horse and a camel. This was all very nice, but the highlight of the day was definitely the quad biking on the sand dunes. You could drive up them at high speed but this meant it was a faster drop on the other side!! The quad bikes, however, were just a warm up for what came next.
We experienced the same but in a 4x4. A driver drives 4 people in a Jeep up and down the sand dunes at high speeds to crazy House music and your whole body is thrown about the car. The safari ended with a very nice buffet dinner and traditional tea. We then all sat together in the night’s sky around a fire and inhaled parfum of aood wood, which is a very rare and expensive wood, which when burnt the smoke is used as a natural deodorant and perfume.
