In courtesy of Sheikh Zayed, the founding father of the UAE, Sir Bani Yas Island demonstrates the country’s dedication to protecting endangered wildlife species. Nature lovers can find plenty to do here, including wildlife safaris, nature walks, dune rides, and unique diversions like archery.
Arabian Wildlife Park
The island’s principal attraction, the Arabian Wildlife Park is a sanctuary for cheetahs, gazelles, oryx, giraffes, and ostriches. The activities on offer include horseback riding, mountain biking, 4WD excursions, and three-hour tours that start from the mainland.
Archery
If you want to partake in a gratifying and challenging pursuit, take up archery during your stay. For the best experience, you should set out in the morning, which is not difficult as the site is only 15 minutes from luxury hotels like Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara.
Water sports
Complete your island getaway by including water sports like snorkelling, paddle boarding, and mangrove kayaking in your list of things to do. For the best aquatic experience, you should choose one of the Abu Dhabi resorts that offer water sports as a part of their activity package.
