Qasr Al Sarab

This was one awesome place! It is about 1.5 hours outside of Abu Dhabi and is plopped down in the middle of the desert! The resort is like an ancient arab palace. Every view is amazing and the amenities, top notch. We were all able to tag along on Gregg's work retreat and then spend one extra day.
We made good use of the pool, climbed sand dunes, ate traditional food, went dune bashing, enjoyed camel trekking and star gazing. It was simply beautiful!


 Now, this is a way to work!





 Desert blooms. So Beautiful in contrast to all the beige!


 I'm gonna learn how to play this, piano/guitar thingy. . .
 We got to see a cool falcon demonstration.  We all got to take turns holding the falcon.



 Desert sunsets. AMAZING!




 Ashtonn, no fear!


 These Land Cruisers own the dunes! They all had roll bars inside for extra safety. It was so fun, we felt like we were in a car commercial!




 Getting off and on a camel is not as easy as you think! Hold on tight!



 This camel seemed extra interested in Gregg . . .
