Camping in the desert

We were lucky enough to be invited along with some very seasoned desert campers a few weeks ago. This was our first time taking our little 4x4 out into the desert dunes, so we had to learn the ins and outs of dune driving - letting air out our tires before driving on the sand and pumping them up again once out of the desert. Theo had a blast driving over the dunes and I was a very enthusiastic co-pilot. We loved sleeping under the starry sky and we had some very curious camels come by to say hello in the night. It was a great experience and we look forward to doing it again next winter. Here are some pictures from our fun....

Back to Blogging....

After a long hiatus from blogging....we decided that we missed chronicling our adventures, and we also missed sharing it with our friends and family. It has been quite some time since our last entry....and we have had many, many adventures in the interem. We have traveled to Oman, Jordan, Egypt, the Philippines, and India over the last two years, but we are going to start from the present. Over the last few months we have learned to camp in the UAE (yes, it requires some special skills). We have been on two amazing camping adventures - one in the mountains and one in the desert dunes. The mountains provided lots of breathtaking views and wild goats, while the desert provided wild rides over the sandy dunes and many curious camels. Here are some pictures from our fun.
