The sands of the Al Wadi Nature Reserve shift over 1235 rippling red acres within Wadi Khadeja near Dubai, teeming with natural beauty and wildlife, a haven for the adventurous horse lover. They form the perfect location for exploring on the exquisite landscape on horseback. You may come across an oryx, I think, white flanks caked in dust, horns piercing the air. It's almost as though she's following the sun, appearing with its quiet, dawn-like shift across the dunes. At first glance, the desert sands may look empty. But spend time there and you'll find plenty to see, from the desert fox to the oryx and gazelle. Take part in guided rides at dawn and dusk. Available from 15:30 - 17:30 - this is a 45mins ride
