“My Travel Journal” as the title explains is a travel journal to be used by children while traveling to other cities and countries around the world. Often children are not sure what to write about, “My Travel Journal’’ is filled with prompts and interesting facts to look out for and write about. The journal takes a child from when the family decides to take a trip, to what to pack, where to stay, foreign words they will need, their favourite moments, facts on the city and country they visited, money matters and a world map to highlight cities they visited. There are also many pages that allow the child to write freely about their daily activities. Dedicated pages are available for drawing, creating a collage and attaching items they have collected on their trip. Read more
Quad biking in the desert: Thrilling good time for the entire family!
This past weekend we ventured out of the city to try out some quad driving in the desert. There are several rental places along the highway on the way to Ras al-Khaimah and also Hatta. We tried out two spots! Our first adventure was on the Dubai-Hatta Rd (44) near the Oman border. There were two rental places along the highway, one on each side. Each rental company provided both quads and dune buggies. The terrain was pure dunes, nice soft sand, large hills; a bit of a challenge for quad beginners but ideal for dune buggies. Read more

It’s that time of year again when my children start to remember there are old people in the world! That time of year when parents arrive in Dubai in their droves to escape the harsh winters of Europe and North America to spend time with their families. Read more
Full Moon Desert Drumming | 26 Oct, 2012 | Gulf Ventures Desert Camp – Al Awir
Having the natural rhythm of a broom stick and the musical giftedness of the morbidly tone deaf I initially thought drumming in public would be total lunacy – pun intended. Upon further reflection however, an evening of drumming to the beat (hopefully) and dancing bare foot in the sand actually sounds rather nice, more than nice. The fact is I can think of no better way to de-stress from busy city life than by letting yourself loose on a drum. Read more
