More National Day



Last night we went to Yas Island and they had a Heritage village set up as a display for National day. It really was lovely. Tents set up with traditional carpets and cushions and displays of local crafts and life. Emiratis were in each tent to explain different aspects of their lives. Every contact we ever have with Emiratis has been positive. They have been polite, gracious and very welcoming. This lady spoke no english so I asked the younger woman with her if we could take a photo. It is very rare to have the opportunity to photograph an Emirati woman with her traditional face coverings.
