Scuba diving and snorkelling: in and around the many islands that dot the waters off the coast of Abu Dhabi is a top activity. The warm waters of the Persian Gulf are home to a truly amazing array of marine life that thrives here. Coral reefs and wrecks are also found offshore, proving for a good range of diving environments. Dhow cruising: in the Gulf waters along the Abu Dhabi coast is a relaxing way to enjoy the sun and water. Operators typically stop off at some of the small islands so you have the opportunity to observe a number of endangered wildlife species. Falconry: has long been considered the ‘sport of sheikhs’, in which a team of handler and falcon hunt various types of quarry. These are lightning-fast birds of prey that put on a show well worth seeing. Wadi-bashing: this extreme sport is guaranteed to get the adrenaline flowing. It’s reported to be great fun for driving enthusiasts, even if it’s not all that popular with environmentalists. You’ll have the chance to drive a 4-wheel-drive vehicle at high speeds along dry and stony riverbeds, and kick up a lot of dust and rock along the way |
