Wonder and pleasure await
The Emirates' outdoor playground
Beyond its glamour, the UAE is a natural playground. From the dunes of the Rub Al Khali to the reefs of the Arabian Gulf and the peaks of the Hajar Mountains, there is an adventure for every appetite. We are glad to help arrange any of the experiences below during your stay at L'Escapade.
What to do
Adventures across the UAE
Desert Safari & Dune Drives
The UAE desert forms part of the Rub Al Khali, the largest sand desert in the world. Explore it by 4x4, with the chance to watch a sunrise or sunset over the dunes in warm, golden light.
Scuba Diving & Snorkelling
Ideal waters for divers of every level, and a fine place to learn. The Gulf holds shipwrecks beyond its ports, while the east coast on the Gulf of Oman offers pristine reefs and smaller wrecks.
Watersports
Calm, clear coastal waters make for excellent kayaking, paddleboarding, jet-skiing and sailing, including gentle mangrove paddles around Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat.
Hot-Air Balloon
Drift over the desert at dawn for a serene, panoramic view of the dunes and distant mountains, one of the most memorable ways to see the landscape.
Hiking in the Hajar Mountains
Between sea and desert, the Hajar range offers trails and treks for a half-day or several days, with dramatic rock formations and far-reaching views.
