Sand Skiing in the Middle East

Yesterday, after my post on Skiing in Dubai, the Pinster pointed out that there is actually a sport known as Sand Skiing. I Googled it and found some really nice pictures and a couple of videos. Petr Janata, from UC Davis has his pics and video from his Sand Skiing trip on the dunes of Qatar posted here. Here are some of the videos:
