13 THINGS I SAW AT THE BEACH ON EID WEEKEND
1. A sexy blonde in bikini. Not an ordinary bikini because she had thongs for bottoms. Oh, the color was hot pink.
2. Someone nearly drowned. Maybe he oggled too much at the bikini beauty and forgot he couldn’t swim?
3. The lifeguard ala-Hasselhoff rushed to the beach while people dragged the nearly drowned man. When the lifeguard saw that the man was ok, he went back to his station – a few minutes after he oggled at the thong-bikini-blonde girl.
4. So many men swimming in the sea with their underwear only. They must think that swimming trunks and briefs are the same.
5. One of them had a white colored trunk. Everyone can see clearly what was going on beneath that piece of cloth.
6. Some women swam with their heads covered – not with swim caps but with cloths. They are the reserved ones, most likely.
7. A dead jellyfish washed ashore and I almost stepped on it.
8. A very cute girl with lovely green eyes who called out “mama”. I turned my back and she hugged me. My eyes are nowhere near green so I guess it was a case of mistaken identity!
9. A blonde middle-aged, more than the average size woman who can’t get out of the water. While swimming, her loose bikini bra went missing in action! I offered helped but she was blurting something I could not understand! (I found out later that she was Russian)
10. Lots of people grilling. One of the tents caught fire!
11. A patrol car (a pickup truck actually) with sirens on the beach, inside it was an arab guy (a policeman) with megaphone screaming, “get out of the water” when the sun set. Swimming beyond sunset is prohibited.
12. The same policeman coming out of the pickup and telling the men on the beach to stay away from the shore as they didn’t have plans to swim but instead continued to oggle at the women there. Very disgusting.
13. A crowd of men doing their prayer on a huge carpet at the call of the minarets for prayer.

Good and interesting and funny list! I took this week off because I have something else I wrote about.
She lost her top? Poor woman…

Sounds like an interesting trip. You’d see a lot of that here in California too. Happy TT.
I can’t reconcile these images with living in an Arab country. Fascinating.

And it all started with the blonde in the pink bikini…Maybe if she had stayed home that day, or actually wore decent beach attire, none of the following would have happened!

I am very interested in this country…it’s a funny beach story partly because I’m trying to image a tense society as well. Very disturbing to see someone almost drwon. I’ve seen that at a public pool and it spoiled the rest of the day…even knowing they were saved.
Terrific list…I’m going to explore your blog and look for pictures. Thanks for visiting my blog!

To say you had an adventure would be a vast understatement. Near drowning, tent fire, lost swimsuit top, and oggling galore…*headshake* I feel like I was there but with enough distance to be properly entertained. *wink*
Happy TT

It must be a bit of culture shock to have that many diverse belief systems and degrees of morality all sharing the same beach. Interesting post. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sabine- Yes, all forms of swimsuit is legal in this unique country! You will go to the beach and ask yourself if you had been teleported to another world with the variation of people and bikini style on the beach. In California, I can understand but this is the Middle East!
Good thing you didn’t step on that jelly fish!!
Never seen men wearing his underwear to go swimming.
And never heard of prohibiting swimming after sunset!
Very interesting list, happy thirteening!
