While embarking on an excursion to the desert in a four-wheel drive vehicle does have its advantages, for a truly memorable experience consider a ride on what are known as the ‘ships of the desert’; the humble camel! Those heading to the region and looking for luxurious resorts Abu Dhabi has to offer can stay at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villas. Featuring elegant Abu Dhabi villas, this well placed resort can be found within the Arabian Wildlife Park and is a perfect place to stay for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Camel riding in Abu Dhabi is an ideal way to experience the haunting beauty of the desert. This traditional mode of transport lets you truly soak up the atmosphere of the landscapes that seem untouched by time. Generally such treks take place in the early hours of the morning or at sunset in order to beat the heat. Usually rides are accompanied by a guide who will lead you and your trusty camel along the sandy slopes. Certain treks also include a meal and drinks in between your journeys and provide a truly unforgettable way in which to explore the desert.
