Where to practice an individual sport Abu Dhabi

Gary Player's superb course is located on the edge of the immense beach not far from the Saadiyat Beach Club, along the dune relief of this coast already set with big hotels and soon with unavoidable museums. It offers a breathtaking and difficult course. Don't be surprised if you meet a few gazelles coming to watch you from afar. It is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the whole region and is therefore very popular and can sometimes cause great disappointment if reservations are not made well in advance

Your guides will take you to the Dhabi foreshore to discover the mangrove, an ecosystem that is richer than you might think. The woody plants plunge their stilt roots into the mud. In addition to this outing, Noukhada offers a full calendar of activities, boating, diving, and snorkeling, including day trips and "mystery" night trips. Finding the launch site is like orienting yourself in a construction zone, so make sure to note the access map.

The Al-Aïn Golf Club, located near the Danat Al Aïn Resort, is a 6,140 m, 18-hole sand course. Established in 1991, the atmosphere is deliberately relaxed and simple. The course is built on sand and gravel, so no water or chemicals are used. For all these reasons, the golf course considers itself eco-responsible, so you can play without feeling guilty. Golfers playing on the sand course take a small piece of artificial turf with them to place the ball on the tee. Visitors must call to reserve.

What is special about this 18-hole golf course? It is played on sand. It is located near the airport, making it easily accessible to travelers in transit! The airport provides transportation and issues transit visas to allow for a round. The sand courses are made from a mixture of oil and compressed sand that forms a green with a grass-like surface. The 18-hole, 6,136-metre course is considered one of the largest desert courses in the world, with the front nine surrounding an archaeological site.

Founded in 1976 by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Club had its first public race in 1991. In 2011, a new grandstand was built to accommodate up to 5,000 people. Located just 10 minutes from the capital's city centre, the Abu Dhabi Racecourse holds up to 16 races a year! The club also organises show jumping competitions and offers riding lessons at its riding school.

Abu Dhabi City Golf is the oldest course in the United Arab Emirates. Opened in 1976, it is located in the heart of the city, just a few swings from the horse racing track and against the backdrop of the Abu Dhabi skyline. Designed by Briton Scott Taylor, the 9-hole Par 70 features a Par 5, six Par 4s and two Par 3s. The clubhouse is very popular with the city's expatriates, especially at weekends. Discounts are available on the website. A unique place to relax just a few minutes from the Corniche.

Opened in 2010, the Par 72 course was designed by renowned golf course architect Kyle Phillips and offers magnificent views of the sea, including 8 holes located next to it. It is regularly ranked among the 50 most beautiful courses in the world. It is also a difficult course as the wind often blows strongly on this island and you will have to avoid the three salt water lakes, the more than 60 bunkers and of course the formidable sand dunes. The Yas is also home to amusement parks and the Formula 1 circuit.

The riding center offers many horseback rides through the reserve or along the mangrove, and even on the beach or in the dunes. To discover either at sunrise or sunset. The horses are of various breeds and are suitable for all levels of riders, from novices to the most experienced. Accompanied by your guide, you will be able to explore nature in complete safety. The ride to the dunes is for beginners, as the guide holds the lead, and the ride in the reserve for the more experienced. Long trousers and shoes.

What a great idea to stretch your legs by getting on one of those bicycles to ride around the Oasis. As soon as you cross the entrance, you will find "0asis bicycle Rental" without any worries. No paperwork is required. You will be able to roam the 1,200 hectares accompanied by the singing of the birds, while admiring the play of light in the palm trees of the 550 small orchards shared by the happy owners. Magnificent photos are to be taken!

It is so rare to walk in the wild in the UAE that we highly recommend this little getaway. The walk accompanied by your guide will bring you close to the animals that populate the reserve such as antelopes, gazelles, oryx and even giraffes. Another possibility, choose the Wadi option, which will lead you on the steep reliefs of the salt cones with explanations from your guide on the geological formation. Be well equipped with good walking shoes, a cap and sunglasses.

Several possible routes, flat or mountainous, in the wheel of a guide. The first one is accessible to all. You will walk in the lagoon to see the pink flamingos nesting in the heart of the mangroves. The one-hour tour starts early in the morning or just before sunset. It is suitable for the whole family and small trailers are even available for small children. The other option is to hop on a mountain bike and explore the reserve's wildlife. This is an outing for trained people only.

Mushrif Park was recently renamed Umm Al Emarat, in tribute to Sheikha Fatima (still alive), wife of Sheikh Zayed and mother of the Crown Prince, Sheikh Mohammed, the new President of the United Arab Emirates. Opened in 1982, it is one of the oldest parks in the city. Open-air concerts, animal enclosures, children's park, restaurant, small train. A real green lung in the center, without forgetting the famous food truck at the entrance: Salt.
