Posing with Burj Al Arab

I find I don’t have any “special” pictures with which to end this gallery, but Burj Al Arab was pretty special, and I was enjoying watching this group of Asian tourists posing in front of it. The man with the thobe and shemagh is definitely not Arab!

Thanks for all the interest in this small gallery! I must move on to Bahrain and try to finish that before we leave for two weeks in Morocco this weekend, or I simply never will. Either I have no pictures or far too many to work on here, it seems. I still have all of Doha architecture from our last trip, and am sure I’ll have at least a few from Morocco ;-). Oh, and then there is our trip a few years ago to Oslo, the pictures from which I have never processed as I didn’t enjoy the city at all, and the Barcelona gallery that still isn’t finished... I guess I’ll save them for a rainy day (which are pretty rare here).

Very interesting to see people wearing 'normal' Western clothes.
An excellent candid in front of this modern landmark. V

Hummmmm....the lady with the bare midriff must get all kinds of stares from the locals (as will the one in the shorts! How much do tourists actually respect the conservative dress code of the country?
