Now there goes another 2 billion brain cells, and a few bucks too.

 

If you do go on the dune bugy tour. Do NOT eat lunch and try to sit up front in the 4 runner. If not you'll be sorry.

 

Then there's always the desert tour. Your hotel will set it up. In the summer, they pick you up around 5 PM (because of the heat of the day) in a Toyota landcruiser, then you and everyone else doing the tour (from all the other hotels in Dubai) will glom up and caravan to a camel farm, where you'll meet some camels and maybe see a camel race. Very cool. Then it's off to the desert for some woopties and dune riding. Then it's to an encampment (bedoin sp??) where they prepare dinner for your group, which you'll eat while sitting on large pillows. The food was great and at the end of dinner, you get to watch and participate in a belly dancing demonstration. Great pictures for the family at home. Be sure to bring your camera. You can also get a semi-permanent tattoo that will eventually wash off.

All in all, a nice way to spend a portion of your layover, all for maybe 80 bucks. Have fun.

 

I was there a couple of nights ago,...now mostly Chinese "talent" No more "DA!, I am Russian!"

 

I'd have to kill myself. Those Russians were fantastic.

 

CYCLONE baby!...............




.... not that I've ever been there or anything............

 

Runnin' guys for girl watching on the beach?? What's this world coming to?
Way too tightly wound.

 

Can you offer any advice on KWI ? I had a good first layover, much different than I imagined (in a good way).

 

Yeah, get out of there as soon as you can
