It was a nice winter afternoon and the postgrad students were all set for their first UAE exploration – that is to visit the Desert Safari! The afternoon bus ride was a picture of excited students eagerly waiting to reach their destination.
Upon reaching the desert, the students were being welcomed by a sea of SUVs to start their first activity, dune bashing! It was a thrilling and a heart-pounding desert ride. The SUVs came to a few-minute stop so students can enjoy the astounding view of the desert. Aside from dune bashing, students also enjoyed other activities such as camel and ATV rides.
As the sun gives way to a chilly evening, the desert stage was colourfully lit with the tune of Arabian music. The students were all gathered and eagerly waiting for the night full of performance. The performers include a man with amazing stunts, a fire dance performance, an acrobat and the belly dancer who impressed the audience with her graceful dance moves.
After these great performances came a superb dinner treat. The students enjoyed a variety of food items regardless of their food preference. The students also took pictures all throughout the trip; some had henna tattoos and purchased some souvenirs.
As the clock ticks to 9:30pm, the students were all set to go back to the student accommodation. It was indeed a well-spent weekend for the students.
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS:
Wow! An awesome experience, fun-filled with food, sports and dance!
