5 Abu Dhabi Adventures You Need to Experience — Desert to Island Escapades

The Al Ain Safari ride is one of the best attractions in Abu Dhabi. The place is home to a variety of exotic wildlife from the plains of Africa and a safari ride here will turn out to be a thrilling experience for everyone. You can book your safari as a private tour via your hotel in Abu Dhabi. Popular resorts like Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara offer an equally exotic location on the rugged Sir Bani Yas Island and a choice of choosing a top luxury hotel Abu Dhabi has to offer. There is also the option of getting on board the 22-seater park truck and exploring the area, which is not restricted and is open to adults and kids.

If you choose to stay at a luxury resort on Sir Bani Yas Island, exploring the Arabian Wildlife Park is a thrill not to be missed. The rugged terrain of the island is an ideal habitat for protected desert wildlife and is home to the cherished Arabian Oryx. There are also cheetahs, giraffes and other African animals to be seen, which you can do by booking a desert safari tour. Sir Bani Yas Island is also loved for its allure of watersports; kayaking, scuba diving and snorkelling are among the top attractions there while enjoying the thrills of relaxing with your favourite drink to warm balmy nights and island vibes is a treat to look forward to.

A huge part of Abu Dhabi's top attractions is based on the shifting sands. Dune bashing is an obvious thrill and can be enjoyed via quad bike or in a 4x4. You can book your tour via your Abu Dhabi hotel to make sure you are in the hands of experienced and careful guides. Enjoy the thrill of careening up and down the slopes in a powerful vehicle as you enjoy the stark yet stunning surroundings.

You may not feel too confident at dune bashing but off-road self-driving is certainly possible. Go ahead and enjoy the thrill of driving along the desert roads. There are about six designated routes from which you can choose your tour; each one is unique, offering different areas to explore, ranging from driving past campsites, graveyards for vehicles, camel caravans, gigantic dunes and more.

This is a traditional attraction you should try to experience. Saluki dogs and desert falcons have been trained to hunt and work in pairs for centuries by the Arabian people. The show is your chance to see the hunting ritual, which includes the falcon swooping on the prey, which is then picked up by the equally fast Saluki dog.
