A caravan of 35 camel riders from 16 nationalities, including the UAE, completed an 11-day, 600km desert voyage and were greeted by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on their way to their final destination at Global Village on Friday afternoon.

The desert voyagers took part in the 9th edition of the UAE Camel Trek, organised by Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Center (HHC), that kicked off on December 19. They enjoyed a unique desert experience akin to the old ways of the Bedouins as they navigated over 600 kms of the UAE desert from Arada in Abu Dhabi to Tal Mera’b, Alkharza, Qasr al-Sarab reserve area, Arabian Oryx reserve, Seih Almeih, Sweihan, Al Ajban, Seih Alsalam, up to Global Village in Dubai.
