Qatar National Day and Dhow Festival

Qatar National Day is Dec 18 and the girls love celebrating at school and around the city. They wore these fun outfits to class. 

We took advantage of the {free} dhow festival at Katara and spent an afternoon there. We got to ride on a dhow to an island they setup in the water and have arabic coffee and Karak and sweets. Afterwards we walked around looking at the history of the dhows and the girls got to hold a falcon (always a favorite activity!).
