The capital city of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is a gateway to the Middle East. This exotic city has embraced all modern luxuries while retaining its core cultural values. Home to the head offices of many international oil companies, Abu Dhabi is a city where businesses thrive. However, this alluring city also has some amazing desert islands which are home to fascinating wildlife. Off the western coast of the city nestled in the Persian Gulf, you will find eight enticing islets home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Even the name Abu Dhabi means Father of Gazelle, probably referring to the free roaming Arabian Oryx.
Kayaking is one of the most rewarding activities you can engage in while visiting the Desert Islands. It is extremely relaxing to go kayaking on the calm waters near the mangroves, and enjoy the dazzling beauty of a sunrise or sun set. Usually kayaking is organized at different times of the day and also on full moon nights, so as to give the visitor a magnificent view of the islands and their surroundings. You will be able to see colourful flamingos enjoying the sun and wild gazelle grazing on the shore apart from other rare birds and fish who call the Desert Islands and the mangroves their home. Most of the resorts in the Desert Islands will provide you with equipment and a guide to make your kayaking adventure both memorable and safe
