Do you love nature enough to call yourself a nature lover? If your answer is yes, then we have the most beautiful destination for you to visit. Ras Al Khaimah can be your next escapade which can bring you even closer to nature and that too in a unique way.

You probably already know that RAK offers an amazing view of the great desert landscape, but did you know that it also has a variety of plants and trees?

 

Flora

Even in the extreme conditions of a desert, there are some strong plants that strive through this state and adapt to these conditions. When you go on a desert safari in Ras Al Khaimah, you get to see these plants up close and appreciate the beauty of nature that is different.

RAK houses different types of trees, and they play a very important role in the lives of locals there. Bedouin people, who have lived for centuries in the deserts, know how important these trees are for their survival. Trees like acacia trees and date palms prove to be great resources for the locals. While acacia trees can provide wood for various purposes, palm trees provide them with dates to eat.

But the list does not stop here. Have you heard of Ghaf trees? These trees symbolize resilience and survival in the desert. Wonder how that is? Well, these trees have such deep roots that they reach the underground water!

Imagine being able to witness the mesmerizing contrast between the green trees and the gold desert, as these colours move to the soft breeze. How wonderful will the view be! You will get to experience this beauty of nature during your desert safari tour. But not just see, you will also get to learn more about the desert ecosystem.

 

Fauna

Did you think there are only plants and dunes to see during your desert safari? Oh, there is so much more.

You also get to witness the wildlife there, and that too in their natural habitats, not trapped somewhere away from their natural homes.

 

You can get to see the Arabian Oryx, gazelles, sand foxes, and even desert hares. There are also a wide variety of famous birds you can see here, which includes falcons, eagles, and vultures. Incredible, right? These are the bird you hear about but can rarely witness in a city, except if you go to a zoo, but that is no fun. When you will go on your desert safari, your Bedouin guide will spot these animals for you to see.

 

Sunsets

Since we are talking about the beauty of nature, how can we miss sunsets? You probably already love to watch sunsets, because you are a nature lover, and sunsets are just magnificent almost everywhere. But if you have not seen a sunset in a desert, you have missed one of the most gorgeous events occurring in nature.

The colours that desert sunset displays in the clear skies will make you want to capture every second of it. Imagine watching the sun set behind the golden dunes as you sit in the most peaceful surrounding. No city noise, no cars honking.

There is so much more that Ras Al Khaimah's Desert Safari can offer a nature lover. In addition to all we just talked about, you will also get to taste traditional Arabic food and know about the local culture.

Now that you have imagined how it would feel to be amongst the trees and the wildlife, and see the sunset, it's time to bring this dream to reality. Book your desert safari in Ras Al Khaimah today with Gulf Tours.
