Saluki Beauty Contest

We went to the Abu Dhabi Equestrian and Falcon Exhibition on the weekend.  But because no schedule was published on the website, we went when there were no horses or camels, just a Saluki Beauty Contest.  This breed is treasured in Arabia, so there was a dog show.  I can't say it was gripping, but one of them won.

We saw some falcons sitting in the exhibition with their eye covers on. Charles bought one as a key chain (the eye covers, not the falcons). 

Maybe next year, we could see the camel and horse shows.  Better not to go on a Friday morning.  We keep getting this wrong....
