camels ornamented with bridles, bejeweled necks,
jingling anklets and casting long, lanky shadows
on the sand mesmerize the onlookers. In the evening,
superb artists and folk dancers enchant you with
their performance and charisma. Dancing with their
skirt whirling in the sky, they present a figure
of euphoria. Along with that, the fire dancers balancing
burning lamps on their foreheads while dancing,
leave you speechless. |
