Sir Bani Yas

Swimming in the Persian Gulf!  Another body of water for the list!

What a relaxing day.

This is a private man made island.  A Shiekh used to own it, it has a wildlife preserve on it.  

We got to take a tour of the wildlife preserve.

There were some impressive horns.

And lots of cute faces.

These are native gazelles.  Apparently they are good swimmers too.

That will come in handy, if they want to get away for a day.

There are a few different breeds on the island.

There are turkeys and peacocks as well.

They had quite a few ostriches...or emus?  I couldn't hear the guide.

They really were hoping that we had some crackers though.

Here's an enterprising gazelle.

There were many ways to relax.

This way.

This way.

Or this way!

We picked the best way!
