Henna is in actual fact a type of non-toxic plant dye which has a long history since it has been used for centuries. Henna decorations are used to adorn the skins of females including their feet and hands. Similar to the way westerners would tattoo their bodies, henna paining offers a non-permanent mark on ones skin incorporating intricate floral patterns. Easily washable, such skin decorations can be seen especially at weddings and other celebrations throughout the UAE.
