JEBEL HAFEET - Al Ain

We went up to Jebel Hafeet last night (26 October 2007) to see the world from way up there. In the first photo are Abdullah, Hasan and me, drinking some Arabic coffee in the parking area at the last stop. In the second photo is Abdullah pouring more coffee with Amnah eagerly reaching for more.

Afterward we went to Al Bazarah at the foot of Hafeet and had a picnic on the beautiful green lawns in full view of the awesome majesty of the mountain. Youngsters were driving by on their motorcycles, people walking around chatting and just having a good time. Barbeque fires burning, children swimming and playing soccer, some climbing the grassy slopes. I watched the smartest sports cars imaginable driving past. This is the good life.

We sat talking about our school, Arabic culture and our Islamic faith. We marvelled at Allah's beautiful creation and at how privileged we are to be able to enjoy it all in good health. Walakal hamd!!
