Outdoor Adventure
As the heart of the Desert Islands, the island of Sir Bani Yas offers a wide range of nature based activities. One could explore game drives and see some of Arabia's unique and indigenous animals, kayaking through mangrove forests or along the bay near the resort; snorkelling in the protected waters, which are rich in marine life; or hiking and mountain biking across what is thought to be the world's largest salt-dome mountains, which was created millions of years ago. Other activities include Archery set amongst the rugged wadis on the Island and scenic flights around the island.

Famous quotes containing the words outdoor and/or adventure:
“From my experience with wild apples, I can understand that there may be reason for a savage’s preferring many kinds of food which the civilized man rejects. The former has the palate of an outdoor man. It takes a savage or wild taste to appreciate a wild fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)
