A new year is a perfect opportunity to try out new things. If you have been an ardent fan of football, rugby, or cricket, but is now on the lookout for something new and exciting to try, here are some of the most popular alternative sports in Abu Dhabi that will keep you sweating during your vacation.
A key element to a good activity is it being nostalgic. You can reminiscence the days when you wanted to rob from the rich and give it to the poor, by taking up archery. Not only will it make you look fancy and sophisticated, but you also get an amazing upper body workout. Archery is offered at places like Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort, as well as at Abu Dhabi Archery. Another activity to try is Ultimate Frisbee. It takes your average Frisbee and turns it into a non-contact competitive sport that you can learn in a heartbeat. Once you have the rules down pat, there is nothing stopping you from having your own game at the gardens of your resort. Water Polo is an activity offered at many Abu Dhabi resorts, that is making splashes in the field of alternative sports. While this does involve a certain level of contact, it is a brilliant workout, working almost all your muscles. If you are a fan of water and swimming, this should be right up your alley. Another sport that you might want to try out, although it is rather strange, is paddle tennis. It is the child of tennis and squash, and has the same court as a tennis court but smaller. The racket, however, is more like an oversized table tennis bat. This certainly adds a twist to an otherwise regular game of tennis or squash, and like all the others here is sure to give you and your companions something to talk about.
