Got some questions

March 3, 2009

Time to go on to my next destinations: Dubai. Since a few years I really wanted to visit this amazing place.
Now I’m waiting at the airport of Bahrain for my next flight GF 544, 15.40 to Abu Dhabi. Just one thing is so annoying, each 5 minutes they are calling the flights and all that stuff. Impossible to sit relaxed and listen to the music.

After the trip of Bahrain I already got some questions in my mind and just wanted to know the answers.

- Who are the originally inhabitants of Bahrain?

- How is it possible for the women to eat and drink in public with an scarf around the face (when you just see the eyes)

- And how is it going with ID and Passport?

- What's the difference between the men who are wearing the traditional clothes (white dress) and the white dress with a scarf?

 

We landed 20 minutes earlier than expected at the airport of Abu Dhabi.

In 5 minutes I was already outside and waited at gate 6 for Kamel. Kamel and a friend came to pick me up and we drove to Dubai where I will stay for the next few days. After 1 hour driving we arrived at his home. The traffic is so busy! When we arrived at his place I had the time to change and then we went to QD’s which is a very nice place to sit down and relax. It’s near the water and we smoked the shisha. Of course we wanted to go clubbing so in the evening me and Kamel went to Boudoir. It was very quiet and the DJ was not of the quality I’m used to. We decided to go to the Lodge and the music was much better. It was a good night.

Thanks for the answers! About the scarf and jihab and everything I know so many things why and how but with the public areas they just went to a restaurant 6 women and there was no private area .. so i was looking how can they do that.. and about the clothes of the men, i heard it of a guy ive met in the city we talked about it, and it's simple! so now i know a bit more. I always want to know everything about this kind fo stuff :)

hhhhhhhhhh, actually nothing, white dress alone is more cool, youth/ informal, while with scarf is more formal one

In passports, they have to uncover their faces, even here in Saudi Arabia.And usually we have female staff at all airports and border crossings, so there is no problem.
