Steps, Fairmont Hotel, Abu Dhabi, UAE © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved
For a change of pace, this post shows hotel steps. If you wanted to see a gerbil who likes to macrame a loofah holder while eating apricot flavored sherbet, then today's picture will be a disappointment.
P.S. The English words gerbil, macrame, loofah, apricot and sherbet are all derived from the Arabic, jarbu, miqrama, lufha, al barqooq, and sharab respectively.
Just needed to catch-up on our English/Arabic word lessons.
