Mosu, sometimes Urfi is the only way to get a marriage registered if the 'official and legal' option isn't possible. For me, in my particular case, I am a German citizen, but I am a Muslim as well and do accept Polygyny. Therefore I was consenting ... Read More

Anybody knows a good place to take photos?
It might depend on what you're interested in capturing. Each photographer has their own style what they prefer to capture. But if you're just asking in general, I would suggest maybe architecture, mosques, the souq, the marina, El Mamsha, camels at ... Read More
