Wahiba Sands, Oman, Arabian Peninsula, Middle East - Sacrificing a lamb for Eid al-Adha. Like all Muslims who can afford to do so, this Omani sacrifices a goat to celebrate the Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice), the annual feast through which Muslims commemorate God's mercy in allowing Abraham to sacrifice a ram instead of his son, to prove his faith. This Omani bedouin lives in the Wahiba Sands. His house and his Toyota pick-up are in the background.
