The Fairy Stream

Aptly named as the Fairy Stream, visiting this whimsically flowing waterway making its way through the white and red sand dunes of Mui Ne is indeed a magical experience. One may need to seek accommodation in a comfortable resort in Mui Ne to fully capture the enchantment of this experience and Anantara Mui Ne Resort & Spa is perhaps the ideal choice of a Vietnam hotel that would make this trip all the more special. It is quite pleasant to walk down the stream ankle deep in the delightfully tepid water, the soles of your feet gladly embracing the softest of the sands in the bottom of the stream. Surrounded by a lush verdure with the sunlight streaming through the foliage, it’s quite easy to see why it is called the Fairy Stream. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the stream will open up to blue skies and the colour of the stream would change from reddish hues to orange, depending on the colour of the sandy banks lining the stream. As you go on, remember to take some snaps of the curiously patterned limestone banks that you encounter along the way which seem to have a mind of their own.

Dune Bashing in the desert -The Thrilling Desert Experience

Dune bashing is an interesting and exciting activity that is popular in United Arab Emirates. It is mainly a off road experience that uses land cruisers, land rovers and other types of powerful four wheel drive vehicles to explore the sand dunes in Dubai. The desert landscape is one of the best places to test your courage and to get a burst of the adrenaline rush. The activity is best suited for the adventurous crowd. It is a good activity to get involved in especially if you are travelling with a group of friends. Of course all safety measures are taken when you participate in dune bashing.

You need to be a good driver and be skilled to handle the dunes in the Dubai desert. The dunes are set in angles which are quite challenging. The drivers who handle the rides have a special license and they have training and experience to drive through the sand dunes so you can be assured that they will keep you safe. There are different times in the day for Dune bashing, the morning, the evening when the sun is setting and the night. You could decide on which time you want to take the ride. Some may prefer to see the sun rise and others might like the thrill of riding through the desert in the night.

The bashing begins when the vehicles enter the Dubai desert, but before getting to the desert the drivers reduce the tire pressure of the vehicles as this makes it easier to navigate the terrain. When the pressure is reduced the tire print is placed with more force on the sand and allows the drivers to cover the surface area. Naturally the ride is bumpy and full of exciting twists and turns. Most rides take a break at the peak and start the journey again. Dune bashing is a popular activity that is available at most of the Abu Dhabi hotels in UAE. There is a range of luxury hotels Abu Dhabi that offer packages for dune bashing. Of them Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara stands out because of its luxurious rooms, amazing service and for the comfort it offers.
