The Al Dhafra Festival happens each year out in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi Emirate.

The festival includes the camel beauty contest, camel racing, date packaging contest, a souk (market) of local items and much more.

Although it is just over two-hours drive (one-way) to get there, we decided to go for it since MJ is visiting. It was a new experience and quite fun overall, though the drive is rather deadly and tiring.

We had a lovely tour by a young volunteer, Hamdan, who is a young 10th grader with beautiful English and a sense of responsibility unseen in any of our students at the Zoo. So, it was refreshing to meet such a nice young man.

Anyway, will let the pics speak for themselves!
