It was in the "Land of Arabia " where it all started. In present era the place is called the UAE, where a rich culture and tradition prevails in sync with the century's modernity. I had an opportunity to visit the deserts of Arabia and stayed for a one night safari camp. The desert was indeed mysterious.They were mysterious,shapeless beings who made the entire country as it is. The weather of the desert was cold mostly and chilled pattern followed everytime. There were humans and animals depended on this desert. They respected these "shapeless beings" for what they have done and for what they are doing. From tiny little desert creatures to a camel, all depended and followed the rules of these beings because they were scared and at the same time respected it. That one night safari camp made me recognised how much these people value and respect their traditions which began as a complete deserted area. The desert was their soul, it was everything which made them prosperous. A rich culture, with some tinge of bravery and adventurous souls were present during the camp. All of them followed according to these mysterious ways of "it". On that camp there were people from different families, religions bound together by the desert, bound together by these beings which remained sacred to the people of Arabia. The safari during the evening time was really amazing. The dunes which were a beauty amazed me. The nature was so in sync with the people. The night camp was peaceful with traditional dances and cheerful and heartwarming presence of everybody present there. But at the same time people never forgot about their "supreme leaders ", the mysterious beings. Yes, they were called the "Shamal " and "Kamsim", the southern and north westerly winds which shaped most of Arabia and the deserts of today, followed by a rich heritage. They were the "Conquerors of Arabia ". It's mystery of creation and wilderness is still unknown to man.
