Dance Like an Egyptian... version 2!!

Jetlag, being blonde and suffering from senior moments are a really bad combo to deal with... when I did my post yesterday I knew what photos I wanted to use to go with the post title... but I couldn't find them!! I realised this morning that they were actual photographs and I needed to scan them in first.... doh!!
The Sheik and a couple of his women....


One night on the Nile Cruise we had to dress up for the galibiyah night, this is the long gown that Egyptians wear and most everyone in the party got into the spirit of it and dressed up... I have to admit that Chris made a scarily accurate Saudi sheik.... methinks he has perhaps been here in the Kingdom a tad too long!


Chris, Mum and I dressed up for the Egyptian Night

So there were various games and challenges going on that people got picked for out of the different groups and the little guy comes up and puls me out on to the dance floor... and then proceeded to pick out a bunch of really young nubile looking creatures from the other groups... and tells us we are in a belly dancing competition!! Yikes... well, heck, I have the belly but the dancing bit was going to be a tad more difficult!!
I think I might have had a chance if everyone else wasn't a couple of decades younger!! ;)

    I'm loving all your photos of Egypt, Annette! I'm definitely a nice shade of green here, because it's always somewhere I've wanted to go.

    You really look like you're having a ball in the belly dancing comp! :-)
