Desert Activities
Explore beyond the bright lights of city life - take a trip into the desert just a short distance from Abu Dhabi or venture further and experience some of the exciting activities that desert life permits.
Desert trips can be arranged through the many tour companies, these can take many formats from afternoon safaris to full day tours. Some run overnight camping experiences. Of course these can also be undertaken with a group of friends and family. If doing so ensure someone in the group knows where he is going and is a competent desert camper.
Camping is a very popular desert activity ideal between October and March. It proves too hot in the summer months and the desert can get quiet cold during the winter months of Dec and January, bring plenty of warm clothing to keep the chill at bay. Pack your BBQ and chiller box full of goodies as there are no serviced camp sites and no shops in sight once you hit the sands.
