Camel Trekking
A camel trek is an ideal way to obtain a genuine understanding of what those long winding journeys of the ancient Arab travellers were like as they journeyed through the sands during their trips through these vast barren lands. It gives an opportunity for the traveller to explore the vast stretches of sandy wilderness on a personal level, holding on to the hump of the camel as it sways from one side to the other. As you traverse the seemingly never ending dunes at sunset the silence is only disturbed by the footfall of the beast, your voice and the words of your tour guide.
A trek is sure to bring to mind those legendary tales one has heard of in the 1001 Nights or other well known stories and it is indeed one of the most awe inspiring and magnificent ways to experience the Middle East. Among the numerous Abu Dhabi hotels is Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara. It is one of the Abu Dhabi luxury hotels that provides the visitor with a chance to experience all the charming moments that this country has to offer.
Wild Adventures
Tipped to be a hotbed of activity for all wild life enthusiasts, the desert nation of Abu Dhabi is a land of pleasant contradictions.

With sprawling wild life parks and guided safari tours to boot this one stop wildlife hub is a dream come true for those who fantasize of adventures of a different kind.
The Arabian Wildlife Park is of course the best pit stop for those in search of untamed splendour as the 4,200 hectare reserve is home to literally thousands of free roaming wild creatures. Spread out across half the size of Sir Bani Yas Island, the park is encircled by a 32km barrier which keeps the animals contained within an eco system that mimics their natural habitat. Boasting a large number of animal species belonging to the indigenous wild life heritage of the Arabian Peninsula visitors can hope to catch a glimpse of mesmerizing cheetahs, scavenging Hyenas and leaping Sand Gazelles, Arabian Oryxes and Arabian Gazelles. Safari tours at the park are conducted on mountain bike, by foot and of course purpose-built four-wheel drive vehicles. Covering the geological, historical and natural heritage of the sanctuary a single safari tour is geared for groups of seven visitors with an informative guide leading the way. Lasting up to 2.5 hours the nature and wildlife drives are renowned as the best way to explore the vast landscapes of the park which is reportedly home to 10,000 free-roaming animals.

White Water Rafting Auckland
Inland Water Sports in Sri Lanka
Though there are a vast number of water sports haunts around the island besides the coast, the most popular place for inland water sports activities is Kitulgala just a few hours’ drive from Colombo. Here one can go kayaking, white water rafting, canoeing and generally enjoy the several water sports that one can enjoy in a river. One of the biggest attractions here is the location of the film the Bridge over River Kwai.
Another though not commonly pursued activity is boating down the rivers of Sri Lanka, particularly the Mahaveli River, the longest river in the country literally translated to Great Sandy River. One can be sure to spot the odd crocodile commonly found in these rivers, watch herds of elephants cross the waters in the early hours of the morning depending on the season and of course come across a large variety of trees, birds, other mammals insects and of course reptiles alongside a boat expedition down these many rivers. However it is best to keep in mind that this is an adventure for the best prepared and experienced.
