Exploring the Sands
While the UAE has many sights to see, the desert of Dubai, which spans for miles surrounding it, has a lot more to offer.
You can take part in a variety of events here, including renting off-road cars to drive through the dunes.
It is highly recommended to rent a buggy to explore these dunes more safely.
This can be for yourself, a significant other, or a group of friends.
Be sure to always have a professional accompanying you.
This can be to help manage the buggy and to guide you through the desert so you don't get lost.
Sandboarding is another activity to try.
It’s just like snowboarding but in the hot sun rather than the freezing cold.
Sail down the massive sand dunes which expand across the entirety of the desert.
If a buggy or board isn’t your style, there are other ways to explore.
You can rent a quad bike to race through the sands or try a camel.
Camel rides can offer a more serene experience when exploring the landscape.
Exploring the seas
The desert is just one-half of the UAE.
The vast coastline which surrounds Abu Dhabi is part of the Persian Gulf.
It is home to many aquatic life and jaw-dropping scenery, all of which can be fully experienced by boat.
Booking a private yacht is a great way to explore this coast in your own time.
Lucky for you, the range of activities available by boat can also keep you entertained.
You can try jet skis, sailing, parachuting, deep-sea exploration, and more.
You can even catch some of the grand prix, seeing race cars drive through the winding roads of the coastline.
Some parts of the race can only be seen from the sea.
Rent wisely
As a final piece of advice, be sure to rent exactly what you need for the vacation.
Take a look at what activities you will be trying out and make sure you have the travel options available.
You can rent a car to take you to these specific sites, as well as rent a yacht to get the ultimate experience on water (the coastline, the marinas, etc).
You can even have a car ready and waiting for you as soon as you land at the airport. Ready to go on your planned vacation?
