Desert Safari ,Belly dancing and Sheesha !

Share

Thrills and chills are many if you are in Dubai !!

Well , ever touched the warm golden desert sand which lights up in the bright shining sun ! The feel is something you would never want to slip out of your hands like the sand does !

Desert Safari at Dubai is something which can not be missed . After all what is Dubai without the deserts, what is Dubai without sheesha , what is Dubai without the gorgeous lady doing belly dancing , what is Dubai without the kebabs ?? Nothing ! But hold on, What is Dubai if you get all these things together at one place , It makes Dubai what it is .. a kick-ass entertainment place ! Desert Safari offers all these. The local tour guys came to pick us up from the hotel sharp at 5 pm.The spot where Desert safari happens is in the desert on the Dubai Oman border !! woo hoo .. a long drive in the land cruisers that whats it is .. Enjoying the comfort along with peppy Farsi music which you definitely cant understand but it is such that you would want to shake a leg for sure once you hear it ! The Arabic driver who also spoke a little bit Hindi apart from Arabic was a fun guy to chat with.The tour Guide Mr. Rajesh as his name was had informed me well in advance " That chintan if you want to enjoy the ride to the maximum , be seated on the first seat " and I was like all right !! let's do it !

So all of a sudden the driver quits the highway and suddenly takes a turn in to the desert on the side which was running parallel since a long time now ! Everyone in the car got freaked out and he was like do not worry its a short cut have been playing in the deserts since I was a kid and know all the routes by heart! trust me it looks the same where ever you may go in the desert , there is just sand sand and more sand but I wonder where my driver had the skills to figure out the path in the barren land.We reached a spot where all the other land cruisers were.. They all deflated the tyres , they do this so that the car doesn't roll over when moving up and down the steep desert slopes.

Desert Safari is actually the experience of sitting in a landcruiser and moving up and down the slopes on a super jet speed . Your heart is in your mouth when you are doing that ! So , well had our share of adrenalin rush and proceeded for dinner.Before that we had different activities that could be done like camel rides , there was a place where you could click your pictures in traditional arabic dress , did that and then you could get a henna tattoo done , I got my initials written along with a spider on my forearm . There was a place where you could sit down and have hookah . Now, I am a big hookah fan and love doing it but it is an activity not too appreciated by my parents but well I told them that I have to do it and am going so they were like all right.I went and had a sheesha to myself .My tour guide who never had a sheesha before tried taking a few puffs but in vain .I guess everyone out there was an amateur and I felt like a pro blowing rings in mid desert , teaching Europeans and Americans, how to take the smoke in , how to release it and well , yeah .. I had my moment of glory there. My guide got us a beer and I was like what better than a carlsberg with hookah that too in mid desert but I was yet to experience a beautiful surprise .There I was drinking and smoking the hookah pipe and the beautiful belly dancer appeared with skimpy outfit , looking like a diva . Yes, the show was to start now ! So I witnessed a diva belly dancing for you in mid desert under the stars , sipping on beer and having hookah.What more could I have asked for !

Then soon after the show was over there was a bunch of gujju's . By the way I happen to see Gujju's no matter where I go in the world and they started with garba and I was like come on not here !! I being the gujju myself like the dance form and do it well actually but not after such a brilliant performance ! So I decided not to pay heed to it and had dinner which consisted of Arabic , Lebanese and fresh Kebabs and Tikka's cooked by the drivers who got us here . It was a night to celebrate and So I did. We returned to the hotel late at night after which I did a lot of exploring and all before sleeping but all that later .Ciao for now !
