EXPO 2000 U.A.E. - Pavilion

The sand in the yard was flown to Hanover from the U.A.E.! Walking on the original Arab sand, don't be surprised to have Arab feelings creeping up...

	Entrance to the pavilion of the United Arab Emirates.		In the yard the visitors can try smoking water pipes.
	At the end of the tour you re-enter the yard.		The exhibition in the pavillion is well arranged. Several things were surprising and some I did expect. Here is a picture of the main income source of the U.A.E..
	This lady provides a special treatment for female visitors ...		With a little patience you will receive a henna tattoo.
	With a paste containing henna the symbol or the letters are painted on the skin. It needs to dry for about 20 minutes.		After removing the dried paste you will have a tattoo that will last about 10 days.
	The desert fort in the evening sun. My wife says the picture is not clear enough, but I like it!		It seems as if the sand is blown around the tower but these are only the shadows of the visitors!
	The nicely illuminated side wall, but these visitors...!		If you expose long enough the visitors are gone!
	The shadows creep higher and higher, but at the U.A.E. the lights are turned on...		...even in different colours!
