Desert safaris in Abu Dhabi: Discover the adventures among the sand dunes

A dessert safari is indeed a must item of one’s trip to this region where one of the world’s most famous dessert offers its limitless possibilities to the adventure seeking traveller. There are so many agencies offering flexible and cost effective ways of doing a safari as to fit your budget as well as your preferences and peculiarities. There are so many ways to drive into the wildness of sand at Abu Dhabi. While a 4wheel vehicle allows you to experience the thrill of driving around aimlessly and furiously without worrying about any dangerous encounters, the camel ride holds up a tough competition as another unique experience and as the most authentic and ancient way of riding in the dessert.

There are many different kinds of Safaris including morning rides for those who fear the darkness and evening safaris and overnight safaris for those who love it. The overnight safari indeed feels like a romantic escapade as you set up camp under the moonlight, surrounded by nothingness or rather the vastness of the empty dessert. Experience a sumptuous buffet dinner with exotic Abu Dhabi dishes and complemented well by BBQ as well as Shishahh tobacco and sweet desserts. An amazing dinner like that can only be distracted by the performance of a group of belly dancers who offer this alluring item that is well known in Abu Dhabi. While the night is a time for solitude, delicious food and performances, the afternoons are for adventures. Sand bashing and sand skiing offer an exciting prospect while dune bashing can be pretty addictive as you take on what seems like roller coaster ride over the dessert.

Take refuge in an Abu Dhabi resort and rejuvenate yourself after your adventures in the outdoors. Indeed there are places like Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara which enjoys an excellent location and offers an oasis of Middle Eastern delights from many luxurious conveniences to mouth watering delicacies, fulfilling the five star class quality in every turn of its snug interiors and every morsel of its food. From among the many Abu Dhabi beach hotels, this one stands apart with an excellent reputation that just keeps growing over the years.
