Set out across the sands on an unforgettable desert dune adventure from Abu Dhabi and feast your eyes on its stunning beauty. Climb into your comfortable four-wheel drive vehicle and leave the ultra-modern skyscrapers of the city behind to discover a more traditional way of life as you drive through villages and past farms scattered among the golden dunes.

Discover the treasures of Doha by land and sea, enjoying a panoramic coach tour before savouring the many sights, sounds and scents of the city's atmospheric souq.

Explore the beautiful nature reserve of Sir Bani Yas island in a 4x4 vehicle and admire an abundance of wonderful wild animals you may otherwise never see, including many endangered species. Created by the late Sheik Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan to preserve the fragile local eco-system, this wildlife sanctuary occupies over half of the island and offers some truly amazing photo opportunities.
