What we will do
We
leave Abu Dhabi in our 4x4 and make our way first towards the majestic
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where we have a photo stop for snapshots to
immortalise the largest mosque in the Arab Emirates and the eighth largest in
the world, able to accommodate up to 40,000 people.
Back in our jeep, we
leave behind the modern streets of Abu Dhabi to venture into the Al Khatem
desert. We stop briefly when we come to the desert to deflate the tyres and
adjust the car stability to our route.
Once in the desert, we will be
climbing the the highest dunes in the world, which rise majestically to a
height of 300 metres. These mountains of constantly moving sand are a sight
that will literally take your breath away.
On our rollercoaster journey in the
sea of sand of Al Khatem, we will be making a few photo stops to fully
appreciate the landscape and take some unforgettable photos of these
constantly changing mountains of sand.
The delicious Arab-style
barbecue at a desert camp is an unmissable experience.
