📍 Itinerary
The Journey will start in Dubai, where the outskirts gradually make way for desert towns. At the edge of the Emirate we visit a local mint and date farm.
Visit a date andmint farm on the edge of the desert
⏲ 20 minAfter admiring the national tree of the Emirates - the Ghaf tree - we venture into an ancient river bed where we see how climate change shaped the landscape, how plant life has adapted and how fossils can still be found in the ancient limestone rocks amidst the desert. Intimate camel encounters highly likely!
⏲ 45 minThe Journey continues to the East along across a vast alluvial plain dotted with acacia trees reminiscent of the African savannah. We learn how ancient rivers have transported volcanic rock from the Hajar to form still visible remnants of river banks. More camel encounters assured here, and if we are lucky we will spot some feral donkeys!
⏲ 45 minWind your way through the magnificent wadi Showkah and stop for picnic in a lush tropical farm. See the falaj irrigation system enjoy a moment of pure relaxation in nature. Those who want can make a 1-2 km walk through the wadi bed. See ancient ruins bearing witness to an age long gone. At the end of the wadi we head back to the highway and to Dubai
