Yesterday, I was on one of the best tour I've ever had. It started with a 4WD ride through mazes of sand dunes in the middle of Emirate's dessert. The mad driver took us up and down and side ways in any possible angle. The sands shifted beneath the tires and it felt like the car could roll over any seconds. It was the best 'roller coaster'ride for me.

Than I drove one of those little buggy cart, racing through the mini sand dunes yard. After struggling in the first minute and almost hit the fence, I was finally able to control the little bugger and worked my way to the fun fun fun fun fun... :) I felt like 10 years old again, riding my first boom-boom car (remember one of those?). Only this time there's no banging, just sands flying around and made my eyes go red.

The mad driver than took us to this Beudoin camp where they served arabic coffee (I didn't really like the taste), had a camel ride (the bumpiest part was actually trying to get to and off the camel back), had a BBQ dinner (kebab, yummy...), and belly dancing (I can't help thinking on the contrast of having the whole 'aurat' cover and the clothes those belly dancer wear). I also had henna painting on my left hand.

It was such a fun experience, definitely will make one of the top favourite tour for me. Kind of make thing even with the fact that I now need to read this 500+ pages of text book to complement the course (yawning already now)
