While you are on a tour to a metropolitan city, it is very likely that you
suppress the drive for adventure in you for want of sufficient geographical
regions in the city which facilitate nature adventure. Sophisticated resorts
and high calorie food from star hotels may actually deteriorate your health
if some nature related activities are not incorporated into your tour itinerary.
If you find Dubai to be ultra modern with sophistication and mechanization at
its peak, then plan a visit to Bedouin Village, a planned village situated outside
the city. Modern Civilization evinced in star hotels is contrasted with the
Bedouin Tents in the village. This heritage village is inhabited by villagers
from several parts of UAE who are ready to enthrall the visitors with their
indigenous lifestyle and ingenious story telling.
Expect nothing while you visit Bedouin Village; life in Bedouin Village is
casual and not cut into calculated and precise movements as seen in cities.
Women in the village will be seen busy with their routine household work - feeding
cows and sheep, milking them and leading them to water, preparing Arabian Coffee
(Qahwa) for the visitors, processing cheese (Labnah) etc. These women in traditional
Arabic attire weave, stitch and die clothes in their own traditional way. While
men are assigned to guide the visitors to each tent displaying different traditional
attractions. They will explain to you in detail various activities in Arabian
households in the olden days.
Then comes your actual tryst with Mother Nature; Camel rides are arranged in
Bedouin Village under the guidance of elderly men. And if you're totally new
to the idea of riding an animal, you will be given basic lessons on it. Don't
worry, camel riding is not as tough as horse riding as the animal moves only
at a slow pace. When you return from Bedouin Village, the image of candid life
in deserts will have actually made a lasting engram in your brain.
If you want to experience more thrill of desert life and journey, then book
your room in Al Maha, a unique luxury resort which promotes adventure tourism
through desert safaris.
