Save on Flights to Dubai and Indulge in Exciting Adventures

by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel Deals

The opportunities to have loads of fun can be many while you are in Dubai, a glamorous metropolis in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). While getting around in this Emirati city, you'll come across towering high-rises, a desert outside the city limits, and some intriguing historical attractions. The tremendous growth that this city has witnessed over the past couple of decades is quite astonishing. Owing to such developments, tourists visiting this part of the UAE have a wide range of choices today when it comes to attractions and activities.

You can have greater savings if you book your flights to Dubai several months in advance. The amount saved can then be utilised while holidaying in the city to explore the most popular places and to try some exciting adventures. Among them are the different kinds of rides that you can take by moving away from the city. Once you go beyond the city limits, you'll find many different terrains worth exploring. They include vast expanses of desert areas, mesmerising valleys, and mountain passes. Driving through the desert would be quite adventurous, as every turn would be unpredictable. For such rides, it is necessary that the driver of your all-terrain vehicle is a qualified and experienced one.

By booking such tours with one of the leading tour operators, you can have some unforgettable experiences on the dunes of the desert. If you wish to learn to drive one of these vehicles, take a short course that perfectly balances theory and practical training. Once you get into the all-terrain vehicle, you can head to Fossil Rock on the way towards Hatta. Also known as Jebel Malaiha, it has been named after the prehistoric fossils found along its slopes. You can access this large outcrop through a sandy dirt track. The dunes on the way are suitable for all driving levels.

Mountain climbing is another great activity you can try during your time spent in Dubai. There are some challenging mountainous terrains located at a short drive from the city. One of them is the 15-kilometre trek to Pink Rocks from Nazwa Road. You can head east towards the Pink Rocks once you are off-road. The drive from Dubai to Hatta takes about an hour and you'll be delighted to witness the dramatic mountain landscapes and magnificent dunes. You can have some fun on the sand while driving your vehicle or climbing the rocky outcrops around the valleys.

A quad-biking tour on the dunes of the desert would allow you to feel the sand as these vehicles have no windows, doors, or a roof. They are equipped with a 750cc engine and have a roll cage, safety harness, and a bucket seat. Some of the tour operators offer full-day quad bike safaris on the dunes that are more than 45 degrees steep. You can also find companies that provide quad bike and buggy rentals at affordable prices. If you have rented a four-wheel-drive, make sure that you have the right equipment to be used in the event of a breakdown.
