On our last day in Abu Dhabi, we finished the tradeshow at 1pm and our flight back to KL will be later on the same night (well technically it will be tomorrow morning at 2.40pm (via Etihad Airways)). Since we have more than 12 hours to kill before our flight, we decided to go on the desert safari which will start from 3pm and finish around 9pm. We calculated that we will be back to the hotel latest by 10pm, have at least 1 hour to refresh ourselves before heading out to the airport by 11.30pm that night.
The safari cost us about 200 dirham each (about RM168). Pick up was at hotel by the tour company in a 4WD. There were 3 of us in the car and we shared with a family of 3 (minimum 6 pax) - John, his daughter and granddaughter. We rode out from Abu Dhabi to Al -Ain which took about 1 hour. John used to work in the UAE many year ago and he shared with us that Al-Ain was the old capital of Abu Dhabi and used to be Summer administration and come winter, the administration moved to Abu Dhabi. Finally, it was decided that the administration moved to Abu Dhabi.
Along the highway to Al-Ain, we saw many trees on the right and left side f the road. John told us that Syeikh Zayed the ruler had planted those trees. Each tree has its own water outlet which hydrates the tree. A massive undertaking to keep Abu Dhabi green.

| Then we reached our first stop at a camel farm. There were a bunch of
camels feeding on dried grass. we were told that they were females and
males were kept in a nearby cage as they are quite volatile and likes to
bite and spit on people. |
 |
| Females are docile enough and I was able to pet its body. She doesn't mind it though. The fur wass rough like carpet. |
 |
| The reason for the stop at the camel farm was to cool down the 4WD engines |
 |
| Look at the smooth desert with its fine grain sand. There are some plants but it will soon wither and die. |
 |
| We reached base camp after more than half an hour of dune basing |

AL Ain and Abu Dhabi are two states which are very famous for hangout ,Jubley Hafeett is in Al Ain and mostly tourist went there for enjoyment and Abu Dhabi Desert Safari
is the best Activity for almost all tourist to end their journey on it.
Hi Shamraiz,
Thanks for the comment. I don't think I visited Jubley Hafeet but I do agree that the Desert Safari was a very exciting activity. I wish I had more time to visit other parts of Abu Dhabi like the Cultural centre and the Ferrari amusement park. But having done something so natural and cultural is the best way to go in any country. That way you learn about the way the people in that country live and take away some good memory.
Desert Safari Dubai is a great place for the visit....i share to some thing about camel farm...you more update the camel farm.
