Fujairah Celebrations Continue
December 12, 2011Posted by Kanga.
The Al Saif sword competition and accompanying celebrations continue through December 17th. So, last Friday we headed down to the Fort to see what was happening. We were too late to see the bull butting contest or the camel race, but some of the camels were still out basking in the attention of their admirers.
This little fellow was lucky enough to get a ride.
We had a tasty snack of lamb and chicken skewers.
A wide range of traditional items were on display – pottery, tools, platters, coffee pots, etc.
More camels – these are taking a rest. In the background, a horse and a miniature pony who have been giving rides to children.
Two majlis tents were available for those wishing to sit, rest and enjoy each other’s company. (Majlis has a variety of meanings, but generally refers to any area where people sit comfortably and discuss.)
The activities at the Fort have been very enjoyable, much like a county fair. These are genuine foods, activities, sports, and arts of the local area.

you said there were two resting sites. Was one for the men and one for the women?
The were both open to anyone, but people tend to segregate. The other tent was being used by a family.
