Telal Reserve
A stone's throw from the town of Al Ain, a nature reserve preserves herds of gazelle and oryx.
Access is strictly regulated but not totally forbidden.
This stretch of desert is enclosed by fences, but you can venture out with a guide and get close to the semi-wild animals.
It's a great way to get up close and personal with these protected species. The best light is early in the morning or at sunset.
Access for Telal Resort guest only
