Abu Dhabi Holidays Take You to Magnificent Sand Dunes





Abu Dhabi offers a variety of exciting experiences for its visitors coming from different parts of the world. Besides being the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, this city is a major cultural and commercial centre of the country. Although it has turned into a modern and cosmopolitan metropolis over the years, the city has brilliantly preserved its rich cultural heritage. If you're in search of some unique experiences while exploring the Emirati capital, the desert areas close to it would be the best places to enjoy them.

You can have such experiences during your Abu Dhabi holidays in 'Rub al Khali' or the 'Empty Quarter'. Upon getting to this particular desert area, you'll get to witness the largest uninterrupted sand mass in the world. It was made popular by the British explorer called Wilfred Thesiger and the Emirati and Omani nationals who had accompanied him to this region in the mid-20th century. You can also witness an elegant resort located in the middle of Rub Al Khali, which would seem no less than a palace from the popular Arabian fairy-tale, '1001 nights'. This resort allows you to indulge in a range of exciting activities, such as dune walks, camel trekking, falconry shows, and dune bashing.

The dunes of Al Khaznah would also be a wonderful place to explore for your desert expeditions. These magnificent dunes are located between Abu Dhabi and the Oasis City of Al Ain. You can also explore the vast expanses of desert in a place called Al Dhafra located outside the Liwa oasis. There'll be plenty of adventures waiting for you in these spots, such as dune-bashing and sand-skiing. Most of the desert safaris taken to these spots would include these activities along with quad-biking, visit to a camel farm, and a delicious traditional meal arranged under the stars.

If you wish to experience the ultimate in luxury desert-camping, choose the Desert Rose Bedouin Desert Camp. It is set against the backdrop of mesmerising sunsets on the dunes of Al Khaznah. A customised tour would give you the chance to venture out on the moonlit desert dunes of this region. This desert camp offers a variety of desert tours and desert safari packages and you can choose from the morning, evening, and overnight options according to your convenience. You'll also savour the unique experience of staying in a tent with excellent facilities and comfortable beds provided inside.

Yet another exciting place to experience the desert areas is the Arabian Nights Village. It was conceived to allow visitors to know more about various aspects of the traditional life that the Emiratis once lived. You'll be transported to the vast dunes by experienced guides during your journey. As you approach the Arabian Nights Village, you'll be welcomed by a beautiful courtyard overlooking Zakher and Al Manhal, the two watchtowers that have been built with traditional architecture. Accommodations are available in Bedouin tents, desert houses, palm houses, and fort tower. The absence of televisions at this site would provide the required tranquillity to give you some memorable moments.
