1. The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR) is a protected wildlife sanctuary that covers around 225 square kilometers of desert landscape. It is home to several indigenous species of plants and animals, such as Arabian oryx, sand gazelles, desert foxes, and lizards. Visitors can go on guided tours that allow them to explore the reserve and spot some of these creatures in their natural habitat. There are also camel treks, hot air balloon rides, and camping trips available for those who want to experience the desert in a more immersive way. One interesting fact about the DDCR is that it was created to help preserve the desert ecosystem and promote sustainable tourism in the region.

The cost of guided tours, camel treks, and other activities ranges from AED 150 to AED 1,200.
