    U.S. Navy Petty Officer Melanie Haynes, from Del City, Okla., rides a camel in Al Shahaniyah, Qatar, Feb. 21. "This was a great opportunity to enjoy Arabic culture in a peaceful atmosphere," said Haynes, participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program in Qatar, a Gulf state located on the eastern coastline of the Arabian Peninsula. During her four-day pass from duty in Iraq, she was sponsored off the U.S. military installation to witness a popular local past time: camel racing.
