Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Subjects : Sand dunes of various sizes and heights, free dromedaries that roam the desert in the "cooler" hours therefore more easily visible at dawn and sunset, desert flowers, different species of rodents and if you are lucky the desert fox. Much easier to see are the sunsets over the sea surrounded by dunes and rocks climbing to raised points that are easily accessible.

Recommended equipment : Clothing that protects from the heat, water, sunscreen and closed slippers to walk comfortably if you are not comfortable barefoot. To photograph I brought 14/24, 24/70 and 100/400 and I used them all!

Best months : Our winter in Arabia is about like a spring so hot days and cold nights, with the wind the perceived temperature, especially at sunset, drops drastically.

How to get there : We were guests at Six Senses but access is free from anywhere outside the resort which is closed by a fence.

Visits : Free admission but if you are not a guest, it is forbidden to enter the resort enclosure, of course...
