 Treasure hunting is a fun game  - it us usually outdoors and not long after the iftar . So you have a chance to win as there are not big crowds there . At least this is what I saw  last time I visited the place .

 TEA EXHIBITION  sounds fun . I love  teas and hope to learn about them more .

PALM TREE EXHIBITION also seems interesting to me

date palm is mentioned 20 times in the Quran

it is a staple food around here - or at least it is used to be

still a much respected tree here decorating , parks , promenades , yards
