I’ve seen and been into The Nature and Wildelife Drive at Desert Island Resort and Spa by Anantara Abu Dhabi …and you guys have just seen what I saw !
The ride was amazing …seat belts on …right on time we were all set and ready to go ..bottles of water are there for you 🙂 get your hat and sunglasses and comfortable shoes don’t forget to put on your sunblock cream 😛 its is hot but not that hot you can enjoy the cool breeze of the morning ( Spetemper 2011 )…it took approximately 1:30 hour for the ride .. just put in mind its a big Island and its a big preserve.. so we had to go around to look for the animals 🙂
My guide on that tour Mr. Andrea was a great lecturer too 😛 I had the chance to learn alot about the arabian desert and nature …I’ve learned more that I’ve posted here ….he’s been so helpful and kind to answer all my questions …Thank you for the great ride 🙂
i would love to go on an adventure like that hope i get the chance to do so, the giraffes are so cute.
