My new experience on this trip is Kayaking ! as all of you know how much I try my best that on each trip I try a new adventure or learn an new thing ..its the way a trip should be ! you’re getting away right ! so you need something new !! try something new ! fail or succeed doesn’t matter ! you got to explore yourself 😀 3aadi ana da3amt chum shyara bil maay 😛 so its ok 😉

Desert Islands Resort and Spa by Anantara in Abu Dhabi has a wide range of activities to do while you are staying with them ! you will never get bored !! actually they will help you plan your stay and activities they were so helpful with me ! I just love their unique service !! been to alot of resorts but this one has something that captures my heart 🙂 
 It was really really hard to choose from the activity list ! daaymaaan abi kil sha o abi agaarib kil shay wla abi shay e6ooofni asa long as I am there in the right moment and right place ! but I had to choose because I was on a short stay 🙁 7asafa

So why Kayaking ? as I said I wanted to try something new although I loooooooooooove snorkeling ALOT ! but thought hey AMA Traveler you need shay ydeeeed !! Kayak ! my Kayak activity was on my day of arrival at 5:00 PM i should be in the lobby for my pick up ride ! yep the Island is big it takes like 10 minute to reach the Kayak area by ride ! The Lovely Ms. Sonica from South Africa my Kayak trainer !!! why My akayk trainer ! because it was only me on that activity that day !! two cute couples from Switzerland were riding with us for the drop off for the wildlife drive !

the BIG thing that I missed is not having a waterproof camera !!!! 7asaafaa 🙁 I should get me one !!! because as you see couldn’t take my camera with me on the Kayak ! So what do you need other than the water proof camera ? sun glasses – towel in case you need it – hat – and yeah wear a swim suit ! because you will get wet when you are Kayaking 😛 tarajaakh bn6looniii hahahaha but it was FUN !!
