The United Arab Emirates is a Middle Eastern country that shares borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia. It is composed of seven emirates, each of which has something special to offer tourists. Of the seven Dubai is probably the most well-known although the emirate of Abu Dhabi is now becoming quite a popular tourist destination. The emirate offers a variety of things to do including camel racing and desert safaris.
Dune bashing is a ‘must do’ activity when visiting Abu Dhabi. Dune bashing, which is a popular activity in desert nations, is a relatively new adventure sport where people drive over large sand dunes in four wheel drives. Not only is it a highly exciting activity, it is also a terrific way of exploring the desert. One of the best places to try dune bashing in the United Arab Emirates is near the Liwa Oasis. Here adventure lovers will ride across sand dunes as high as three hundred metres and can even go up the famous Moreeb Hill.
There are quite a few places that carry out dune bashing so tourists have quite a few options. One of the things tourists should keep in mind when looking for adventure operators is their experience and the quality of their equipment. Thankfully there are plenty of old and experienced operations found in the emirate. Certain places offer packages that include a night of camping in the desert and are a great option for travellers who want to experience an Arabian night.
Abu Dhabi is a terrific place to visit as it has excellent infrastructure and although its road systems are car oriented it is possible to get around by using public transport. When it comes to accommodation there are plenty of choices. Travellers seeking good Abu Dhabi hotels can try the Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara. Widely regarded as one of the best luxury hotels Abu Dhabi, this hotel is a secluded desert refuge that offer guests quiet surroundings and inner peace of mind. It is the ideal place for travellers who are looking for a tranquil haven. As for food, one can find plenty of restaurants that serve authentic Arab cuisine as well as dishes from around the world.
