Al Marmoom, the classic way

Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve is the largest unfenced reserve in the UAE, with ghaf trees, oryx and gazelles around a quiet oasis. You cross it in an open-top vintage Mercedes G-Class with a guide who points out the plants and wildlife, then the evening slows down to the pace of Bedouin life.
