Qasr al Hosn Festival


The night that we left to go to Muscat, we went to our favorite festival, Qasr al Hosn. These guards were funny in that they didn't want to take the picture until all of the kids could be in it - they had me take Colby out of the stroller :)

Everyone wanted a chance to hold the falcon! Except Colby, it wasn't really his thing :)





Owen really had his hopes pinned on a quick camel ride, but the lines this year were outrageous. As a family, we worked hard to convince him we could find a camel somewhere else - after all, this is Abu Dhabi!

Colby is quite the animal fan, and these salukis just about made him pass out from excitement. I fear my time denying the kids a pet dog is close to an end...



This woman was doing a weaving demonstration, and had all kinds of baskets around that she had made.

This was our snack of the night - tasty little Emirate donuts!



Tyler got to attempt climbing up the palm tree to harvest dates.
Hooray for Qasr al Hosn!
