Chantal and her husband document a desert camping trip in Kuwait to celebrate their second anniversary. The couple stocks supplies, tours a multi-tent campsite with caravan and AC facilities, shows playgrounds and amenities, and prepares a charcoal barbecue (kebab, tikka, whole chicken, grilled vegetables). They sample snacks (mini pizzas, croissant), drinks (Syrian laban ayran, Pepsi, diet soda, blueberry), make Arabic coffee, befriend a local cat called “Wow-Wow,” and eat together as night falls.
