So, below are some photos of sandboarding! A day of fun with friends from school and now even more new friends from Egypt as well as other visitors like myself. Guess I shouldn't be calling myself a visitor but that is still how it feels!

Fun day out of the city! Blue sky - fresh air - exercise (going up the dune is a workout!!) and good conversation. A great BBQ lunch too!
Stark beauty and a wild ride through the dessert on 4-wheel vehicles.
The dessert is flat by the way - something I did not know. It is also mostly hard packed - NOTHING like a beach - more like a beach parking lot - also a surprise to me. And then all of a sudden there is a stretch of dune as far as the eye can see in each direction. Then more ocean of flat sand on the other side.

Will have to remember to put photos on in reverse order. For now maybe start at the bottom? Enjoy.

Yup! I'd do this again.
