U.S. Army Sgt. Tina Rios, from Maxton, N.C., has traditional Arab artwork painted on her hand at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, on April 10. U.S. troops were able to discover a deeper understanding of Arab-Islamic life in the Middle East during a two-day cultural event on, April 10 and 11. Rios was on pass from Iraq while participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program at Camp As Sayliyah. Qatari women painted intricate designs made from henna on interested individuals. The body art is traditionally applied during celebrations. "Unlike a tattoo, she said it wears off within 15 days," said Rios while waiting for the designs to dry. Hosted from late-afternoon until midnight on both days, "Arabian Nights" was funded by the installation Morale, Welfare and Recreation program and United Service Organization. "I think it's really nice that this was provided for the Soldiers. They have really outdone themselves."
