My sister and her family came for a visit during their Spring Break from Pittsburgh, PA and spent 8 days with us in Dubai. Wow. What a blast of a week we had. As opposed to going in chronological order, I thought I would go in order of my favorite outings, although it is hard to choose!
Heritage village desert safari ‘authentic’ arabian night…
Camel riding in the desert
Rebecca and Molly bedouins

We surprised Will one day and celebrated his birthday (a few days early)

Thanks Laura & Dan for making the LONG trip to come see us! It meant the world to us, and we loved every single minute. Can’t wait to see you in 2 months. We can hardly wait for our summer break when we get to come home to the USA and spend 2 months with more family and friends!
