You MUST do this tour. Everything is truly well or...

You MUST do this tour. Everything is truly well organised. Each aspect built to the final dinner show, and everything in between was a teaser for the next. Our guide was Ibrahim, and he shared his knowledge of Dubai and UAE on the drive to the Conservation area (Range Rover was lovely and the highways are magnificent).
Then we began the education part of the tour, wandering through the desert, seeing the wildlife, learning about the efforts to preserve the desert flora and fauna. We arrive in a tent setting to interact with our Falcon handler Ryan (doing what he loves and "getting paid for it!!") and learn about falconry. Then onto the camel (a little awkward with a hip getting replaced in two weeks) to walk softly upon the desert and watch the amazing sunset - it is so quiet here - before disembarking at a Royal Desert Retreat for the evening meal in a private cabana in an oasis setting. We were made to feel like royalty.
The food was delicious - six courses - so don't eat lunch, but we had already had hor dourves, a cheese selection, and oysters (yummy and plump) before then, so eventually we had to forego dessert as we had no room left! To top the evening off, we enjoyed a shisha pipe, had a little henna painting done, and watched an awesome fire display.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone - this was an experience we will never forget!!
