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:
“Close to the academy in this town they have erected a sort of gallows for the pupils to practice on. I thought that they might as well hang at once all who need to go through such exercises in so new a country, where there is nothing to hinder their living an outdoor life. Better omit Blair, and take the air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And yet a little tumult, now and then, is an agreeable quickener of sensation; such as a revolution, a battle, or an adventure of any lively description.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
