Beach carpets

There were many kiosks along the Corniche (most were cute but we couldn't stop to photograph them), but they all sell these "beach carpets" -- looking like Persian or other rugs on the top but with a rubber backing for use on the beach or in the desert. We bought one!

They look wonderfully colourful - not too many people around !! Quite a contrast to the fancy hotel in the bg !! V

A nice slice of life image. Interesting how the sigh is in Arabic but the letters KB are up there also. V
