This was Aunt Carrie's first visit to Abu Dhabi! A must on any visit to Abu Dhabi is the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque. It is just stunning! This was also Mike's first visit to the mosque; I have always been the tour guide for visitors while he is at work.

Mike and his family went dune bashing while the girls and I waited at the camp.
We rode camels!
This is the camp where you have dinner and watch a belly dancing show after dune bashing

Watching the show
Dancing with the belly dancer. The girls had an absolute blast dancing all night. They were inviting the crowd up to join them. They really just lit the entire camp up with their energy. People came up to me after telling me how fun it was watching them and how great their spirit was. It was so fun!
At the date market
