The Emirati Home - Visit on 4 May 2011

A female colleague of the DTCM Head Office invited all the overseas representatives to her house for a lady party on the last night of our trip. It was such a memorable event as it is my first time to visit the home of a local family.

Their "palace" was really big accommodating husband and wife, 4 daughters and 3 brothers. They live happily in this villa near the airport.

As this is a lady party, it is not nice to take the people shot, but i managed to take a couple of pictures of the big villa.

The majlis - the meeting place - is tastefully decorated. It is like a private karaoke room, as there is a guest toilet attached. i really love the lanterns on the ceiling. All the Arabic furniture are so nice too. There are much more at my back.

If you can peek from the door, there is a grand chandelier near the entrance. There are a number of living spaces outside for this majlis for guests. Most importantly, there is a big marble staircase in the middle of the villa, extremely grand!!
The party host arranged the catering company to take care of the F&B. it's like we are having the buffet in the hotel. This is the look of the villa from the garden.
They could actually host a party every week given that there is such a nice and spacious garden!
