A four wheel drive tour and camel ride in the desert, or a visit to the spice market, are just a few local adventures one can experience in Dubai. But don’t forget the desert animals and a bit of history! Camels can be seen grazing in the desert, but smaller animals, like tiny lizards can be harder to find. Wildlife and ancient history make Dubai a unique stop on the way to the underwater paradise of the Maldives.

The Maldives is made up of a series of low lying coral atolls in the Indian Ocean, just south of Sri Lanka and India. A lush tropical paradise, it is also known for its amazing marine life. From massive, but harmless, whale sharks to rare hawksbill turtles and tiny beautifully colored fishes, the Maldives has an astounding variety of life to see. Large schools of manta rays, sometimes up to 200 or more in number, are also found near these islands. Join us for scenes of these graceful animals and images of wildlife throughout the Maldives.
