Day 6: Weekend Day Out To The Desert



We started the weekend with enough sleeping, there was no bus at 8:00 am waiting for us. Adding more sweetness to our day, we were served a Nutella crepe to our breakfast table made specially for us.

To make use of this day from the beginning, we divided our selves into two groups. A group went to the beach to enjoy the warm water and tour around town, they have also tried some Turkish food. The second group went to the mall and bought some cool stuff and souvenirs.

 Then, we all headed back to the hotel to prepare our selves for the Safari.At 4:30 PM, four land cruisers were waiting for us to start the adventure. We spent the first 45 minutes drifting and enjoying the bumpy road. We also had several stops to take photos and try sand boarding. Besides, we had the chance to watch the sunset and enjoy the scene.

Then we were taken to a camp where we had dinner and enjoyed the Arabic cuisine along with some drinks.Then we enjoyed our time cheering for a talented belly dancer who filled the whole place with energy. Meanwhile, we all had "Henna" drawings, a traditional Arabic temporary tattoo, as a memory of visiting this place. After that all lights were turned off and we laid down and gazed at the stars in an atmosphere of calmness and relaxation. Finally, we went back to our rooms with a memory filled with unforgettable moments.
