"The Island" الجزيرة


This week we went to visit some friends in a near by city. We walked down the beach and came upon this cool site. It’s an island that you can only get to at low tide. It just so happened the tide was low and we went to check it out. We found out that on this island, women make some sort of sacrifice to this sultans tomb so they can become fertile. This is a strange part of folk Islam we didn’t know about. We definitely have been learning a lot about this culture.
