Al Dhafra

Head to the western region of Abu Dhabi to get a taste of the desert lifestyle and the adventures that come with it in the Al Dhafra region. This is the largest of Abu Dhabi's three regions making up around two-thirds of the emirate. Al Dhafra translates to 'where desert meets sea', and here you'll find stunning beaches and islands that line the hundreds of kilometres of coastline. Inland, the scenery is dramatic as sandy dunes rise higher than any on this side of the Sahara. Dune bashing is hugely popular in this region and gets the adrenaline flowing. The area also has a rich and fascinating history that still resonates through many ancient forts, ruins and nature.
