Thanks Saeed,
Its a great website you guys have as well. I was trying to remember some of my Arabic (see above - but got the spelling wrong I think). I used to work as a tour guide (one of my travelling jobs a few years ago) taking aussie & NZ backpackers on 6 week tours through Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Iran (& vice versa).
I love the Middle East and the Muslim people are all fantastic. So warm, so friendly and so family oriented - its just a pity that all westerners don't get the opportunity to travel to the middle east and see this truth for themselves. Unfortunately I did'nt get to UAE or Saudi or Iraq but plan to one day.
I also ran 10 week overland truck tours between Nairobi (Nairobbery!! lol) and Cape Town (via the Gorillas in Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia & RSA). Apart from getting pretty bad malaria at one stage (thankfully not the re-occuring strain), I only really got a chance to do some hunting in RSA and Tanzania. We shot some springbok and some warthogs only (as thats all I could afford).
Before going to Africa I was always anti-shooting elephants, zebra, lion etc...however working in Africa changed my mind. I saw first hand how the numbers of these animals (and others like them) have ballooned, and its great that foreign hunters can go in there and pay BIG $$$$ to help cull these animals in a responsible way. The BIG $$$$ you guys pay helps build local schools, water holes and many other infrastructure services, so I'm all for it as long as its done responsibly and with tight controls.
Take care Saeed & give me a buzz if you ever plan to go hunting in Aus.
