Bedouin Village

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.
