I went on a desert safari on Friday, which was amazing. We rode the dunes in 4x4s (thankfully our driver went easy on us and didn’t do some of the crazy things the other drivers did i.e. drive down really steep dunes). I even went sand surfing, which is where you slide down the dunes on a snowboard. Unfortunately, there aren’t any good pictures of me because I did it at night :(
We were planning to spend the night in the desert, but it didn't quite work out that way. We were they only eight people who wanted to; everyone else left. Okay, let me clarify, after driving on the dunes, they take us to a camp site where there is food, bellydancing, henna, etc. There were a lot of people, but they all left after the food and entertainment was done. We decided that we would stay the night despite being the only ones. Unforutnately, they turned the lights off at 11pm , so we could not play cards or anything really. We hung out outside the campsite on this hill until about 3am when we finally asked the drivers to take us back. But we didn't go back to the university we went to McDonald's. There is more to this, but I don't want to make this post too long. Suffice it to say that we got in at 4:30am after eating at McD's and stopping at the boys' place.

sand surfing sounds awesome. Glad your having a good time over there. Does the McDonalds taste just like one in the US?
Kind of, the meat on the hamburger was really thin. and I think the french fries taste better in Dubai in general. but I'm not a good judge because i haven't had mcdonald's at home in years. there's this one restaurant near the university that has the best french fries--they're always fried right before they bring out your meal.
