Beautiful AL Ain as seen from Jebel Hafeet

The mountain side of AL Ain namely Jebel Hafeet is not beautiful during the day but unbelievable to spectate at night. The lights around presents a wonderful around. People from the busy Dubai life fall in here to enjoy mountains and food and lights here also. However due to lots of people coming from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah there are traffic jams on the mountain range that causes a little inconvenience but over all its worth the time. When one reaches some good restaurant on the mountain side and then witness the surrounding city flooding with colorful lights. #thanksgiving #aurora #decembertravel #café #travelinspiration

Enchanting Desert Luxury | Abu Dhabi In-Depth Travel Guide

let's talk more about the experience of deep travel in Abu Dhabi. With activities limited in the city, I suggest taking a walk in the inland desert area, because Abu Dhabi is really more than just tall buildings. Recommended travel time: 3-4 days. The UAE supports renting cars with translated Chinese driver's licenses, making self-driving very convenient. The speed limit on highways is 160, it's like a real-life version of "Fast and Furious". [Aintra Resort] You can always trust the Emiratis when it comes to enjoying life, even though they are located deep in the desert, their resorts still offer exquisite luxury vacation experiences. You must visit the desert pool, where you can soak your body in the refreshing water while surrounded by endless yellow sand. It's a general sense of ease. The resort also offers a plethora of outdoor experiences, with two activities free of charge. You can ride a camel deep into the desert, climb to the top of a sand dune and slide down, or ride an ATV through the sand. You can even try traditional archery and hit the bullseye from a hundred steps away. There are many antelopes jumping around you from time to time, and you can see the sunrise over the sand dunes from outside your villa. The villa comes with a one-click ignition bonfire, perfect for gathering around and chatting at night. [Ainzhahaligubao Castle] Al Ain is the second largest city in Abu Dhabi. The Al Jahili Fort was built by the old sheikh who unified Abu Dhabi and has a history of more than 100 years. Here, you can catch a glimpse of the lifestyle of the sheikh's family back then, as if traveling through history. [Al Ain Oasis]Al Ain region is the largest desert oasis in the United Arab Emirates, and has nurtured a unique desert civilization since ancient times. Walking in the oasis scenic area, it is full of vitality. Al Ain's most famous is the earliest human water irrigation system, Falaj, which is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are more than 147,000 fruit trees here, the most important of which is the date palm tree. Date palm is a very important fruit tree in the Arab region. Dates are rich in nutrients and are one of the main foods that Arab people love to eat. You can buy a few boxes as souvenirs before returning home. [Jebel Hafeet Mountain Desert Park]The highest peak in Abu Dhabi, located at the border with Oman, 50 minutes drive from Al Ain city. The park offers a variety of outdoor activities and you can also stay in a high-quality tent camp to experience luxury camping. It is also suitable for family trips, with beautiful scenery and fun activities. Summary: Abu Dhabi occupies 70% of the land area of the UAE and 90% of the national oil reserves. Because of its strong national strength, it has always been low-key in external publicity. However, in recent years, Abu Dhabi has invested a lot of energy into the tourism service industry, especially focusing on the development of art projects. So it's time to uncover its mysterious veil.

DESERT SAFARI IN DUBAI

it’s a very beautiful place must visit in Dubai💕

Desert Safari Experience 🐫

I was genuinely astonished by how cold this desert in January is. It was 13 degrees celsius. I sure wasn't prepared as I thought that it would be extremely hot in the desert. Boy, I was wrong! Good thing that there are boutiques in the area where I could buy souvenirs, scarfs, etc. I especially enjoyed the heart-racing dune bashing! If you're into adventure, I guarantee that you'll enjoy this experience. We also got to see the sunset and took photos while we're at it. We also got to ride a camel, a first for me. During the night, you can enjoy bonfires and live shows (fire dancing, singing, belly dancing, etc.) while eating. People were accommodating and lots of amazing food! 🏜️🐫 #desert #dubai

Looking down at the desert from the sky, you'll feel so free! You'll be amazed by how fast you can go. Step on it! Rushing down the 60 degree slope and across the hills, you'll get an indescribable buzz. You'll have great fun bobbing up and down in the car as you watch the sand fly around in front of you.

My bucket lists to go on a desert and ride a camel. Wore a jacket on a desert because during my visit it was December and it’s winter time the temperature as low as 19 degrees. I booked my safari desert adventure online and nothing to worry about foods and entrances already included on your purchase. Will go back again and to try the ATV. #tripaway #tripaway
