Amid the towering skylines and hectic lifestyle of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, a part of the UAE that often gets ignored is the desert.

Tourists and newcomers to the country might indulge in a bit of 4x4 off-roading or a tour but there is a more peaceful and tranquil way to experience this unique terrain, namely desert hacking.
