Last day at the market

Came home smelling like spices, incense and perfume and all the delicious smells of the market. It was our last trip to the Souk Waqif and even though it was my third visit, I found areas previously unexplored. One of the them was the Falcon Souk, an area entirely devoted to, well falcons. We walked into one store and there were rows and rows of falcons tied to a long piece of wood, some with their eyes covered. I know the falcons are well cared for once they're bought at pets but it was still a little sad to see.



They even have a falcon hospital



These are the stables, at night


To say that Natalia loves horses is an understatement so this made her day!


For dinner we tried fresh crepes with cheese and zataar, a spice that's used in just about everything here.



Ended the night with some thick and creamy Arabic ice cream with pistachios. Wish all my nights ended like this. Diet starts next week :)
