Abu Dhabi has activities that cater to all groups, depending on what you’re looking for! And if what you’re looking for happens to be cycling on the serene sand dunes of Rub’ al Khali, also known as the Empty Quarter, you are covered! Interested to learn more about fat biking in Abu Dhabi?
1). What Is Fat Biking?
It involves cycling on a specially designed type of bicycle that sports 3-inch wide tyres for better grip, which allow you to move smoothly on sand. And while you embark on your Abu Dhabi desert tour, if you’re looking for accommodation, you’ll find plenty of options like Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara for instance.
2). Safety Tips
It is advised to travel with a group but if you wish to embark alone, take a helmet and most importantly, take plenty of water and snacks! Tell someone which route you plan on taking and what time you should be expected back by.
3). Wildlife and Terrain
Watch out for both! You’ll encounter plenty of gazelles and lizards, and don’t forget the rabbits! The topography isn’t easy to conquer either with slopes that’ll have you shooting down at speeds that’ll leave you dizzy!
4). The Empty Quarter
A sublime stretch of empty land, it spans across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Yemen! It is the world’s largest uninterrupted sand mass after all.
