Iftar Dinner
Tonight we went to the Jumeirah Beach Resort for an Iftar dinner. We wanted to experience some local culture. Iftar is the breaking of the daily Ramadan fast. It is traditional to break the fast by first eating dates with camel's milk. We tried the dates... very sweet but skipped the camel's milk. The iftar tent was beautiful with lots of blues and golds. We all tried a variety of foods. Only Larry liked the lamb (which is very big here). The humus and bread were awesome. All of the desserts were over the top sweet but good none the less. More pictures later after I figure out how to download them from Larry's phone.
