An afternoon and evening at an oasis near Abu Dhabi is an experience that stays with you. Surrounded by rolling dunes and the soft glow of the desert sun, it feels like stepping into another world.
It all starts with the adventure of the sand—whether you're gliding across it on a camel or just sinking your feet into its warmth, the desert has a way of slowing time. The oasis itself is a peaceful retreat, offering a glimpse into traditional Emirati hospitality.
As night falls, the atmosphere transforms. Under a sky full of stars, we enjoyed a spread of delicious local dishes, from freshly baked breads to aromatic grilled meats. The air buzzed with the rhythm of traditional music and dancing, creating a lively yet relaxed vibe.
The whole experience was simple yet special—a chance to step away from the rush of modern life and enjoy the serenity of the desert. It’s not the kind of thing you do every day, but it left me with a sense of calm and a few great stories to tell. If you’re ever in Abu Dhabi, it’s worth taking the time to experience it for yourself.
