With the weather threatening to change in the forseeable future, we are falling over each other to make the most of it and what better way than by enrolling for the Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island hiking event slated to take place this Friday, March 11.
Hiking aficionados can make their way to the Island for an outdoor escape followed by an overnight camping experience. Participants will meet at 4pm at Jebel Dhana jetty to embark on the boat to Sir Bani Yas island. The journey will start from 4.30pm with a 10km hike towards Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island's campsite to set up tents for the night. During the hike, trekkers will be able to get a glimpse of the island's free roaming animals, such as gazelles, giraffes, Indian spotted deers, the Arabian oryx and many more.
The day will end with a BBQ around the bonfire. Hiking will resume the next day after an al fresco breakfast, with an energising morning walk and a 20km hike inside the wildlife park. Participants have to bring their own camping gear and headlights for nighttime. Hat and hiking shoes are essential, and high SPF sunscreen is recommended.
The Dhs350 price tag includes water taxi service, access to the Wildlife Park, dinner, breakfast and lunch.
