David's work organised an evening at the "singing" dunes, so called because when you walk or run down them, the movement of the sand makes a humming noise - quite unique apparantly! They are about an hour drive out of Doha and are not far from the massive US airforce base here. So you can sit on top of the dunes, watch the sunset over the desert, and watch the US bombers take off and land.
It was a very pleasant afternoon/evening complete with BBQ and a bonfire where the kids toasted marshmallows.
Johnathan at the top of the dune.
Susannah makes the last dash for the top. Climbing the dunes is very hard work.
A well earned rest at the top of the dune.
The 4WD's lined up at the bottom of the dune. You can see how steep the dunes are here!
