Arabian Eyes

I didn't take this shot which was used in a local Vodafone campaign a few years back. This Arabian beauty from Sinai, Egypt is wearing a traditional bedouin head dress (that is covered with golden coins) to show her exotic eyes that are covered by an ancient dark makeup called "Kohl" originally used by the early Arabs and in ancient Egypt.
