Surroundings of Dubai
From the seashore to the mountain peaks, Dubai appears as a diverse and amazingly beautiful natural landscape. Most of the territory of the Emirate – up to 4 thousand square kilometers – is desert. These are rocky plains, high sand dunes and bizarre combinations of sand, stone and poor vegetation.
Nevertheless, an amazing variety of flora and fauna is concentrated on the outwardly barren expanses.
True, most of the vegetation is seasonal, and animals are predominantly nocturnal. The desert – once harsh and impregnable – hides a lot of opportunities for an exciting vacation, from jeep safaris to skiing from the dunes.
