Trips & activities from the UAE

Picture
Living in a sparkling, glitzy city, you sometimes need to untangle yourself from the concrete jungle and explorer. 

So where can you head? Here are a few trips and activities we’ve undertaken and we’re adding to the list all the time. 

Just click on the links for more information:

  • Dolphin watching in Arabian fjords in Musandam: stay on a dhow or camp in a forest; 
  • Watch the dhows on the Indian ocean and visit the forts of Fujairah;
  • Take some fire wood and marshmallows and head to the desert for a bonfire;
  • Hike, climb or mountain bike Wadi Bih;
  • Have a water weekend. Discover the natural hot springs in RAK, followed by a trip to the waterpark;
  • Escape to the Liwa desert to watch the wind shifting the soft red sand dunes;
  • Take a picnic to the Hatta pools and visit the heritage centre;
  • Splash out on a luxury resort and pretend you're on holiday;
  • Act like a tourist and jump on a Big Bus: see where you live with fresh eyes;
  • Be a tour guide for your guests and check out the top must see sights;
  • Soak up the view with a drink at the highest hotel in the UAE at Jebel Hafeet, Al Ain;
  • Act like Robinson Crusoe and maroon yourself on a desert island, five* of course!
  • Jump off a mountain in a paraglider, snorkel with the fish or chill on the beach of an Omani cove.

  • Visit mountains, desert, coast and the city. Oman has it all.
