Desert Safaris
If you are looking for a way to get in some unique sightseeing in Abu Dhabi along with an adrenaline rush sign up for a desert safari.

Sandboarding
The Middle East has vast tracks of desert home to towering sand dunes; this makes the perfect setting for the thrill-a-second activity known as sandboarding. It’s an extreme sport which is pretty much the same as snowboarding, just with mountains of sand instead of mountains of snow!
Hiking
An adventure doesn’t always have to be action-packed; hiking amidst the imposing wadis and mountains of the Middle East is one such example be it at Wadi Tayyibah in Fujairah, Jebel Hafeet in Al Ain or the “Secret Staircase” at the Musandam Mountains.
