Looking for a new camping spot











Our trucks were packed with our camping gear and we set out to search for a new camping spot.  We looked high and low and settled on a secluded spot, which required us to walk all of our gear into a wadi.  After our exercise we settled in for the night - Halloween night.  In the morning, after breakfast, we packed up trying to avoid taking any unwelcome insects with us and went to the beach to enjoy the rest of the day in the sun and sea.

Visitors



Having visitors is always nice and gives us an excuse to take in all of the touristy sights in Dubai.  Lunch at PierChic and drinks at Mina a'Salam.  Come back again!

Camping in Wadi Bih














We left the big city for the fresh and cooler air of the mountains. Due to the border being closed, we took another direction into Wadi Bih and found this great wide-open flat spot to spend the night.  It took some instructed maneuvering to get down to the spot safely and it wasn’t without some tense moments but in the end we enjoyed a great sunset and a cool night by the fire.  In the morning the goats came to enjoy our breakfast with us and then we made our way out of the wadi, past small settlements.  We made a detour to the beach to cool down and enjoy lunch before heading home.
