For those who don't live in the United Arab Emirates, and even some people that do live in the country, there is always a surprise when you say there are some amazing locations to go kayaking.
Their surprise is understandable, the United Arab Emirates is a country within the world's fifth largest desert so water can be hard to find. But, there are a couple of locations where kayaking is possible away for the coasts and both are superb.
Hatta Kayak is one of course, probably the most well known kayaking location in the UAE. The other is Alkhor Kayak - not as high on the public radar, but I can happily tell you, it's is brilliant.
Landscape wise, it is similar to Hatta Kayak, although perhaps home to a little more vegetation on the banks of the lake but what really makes Alkhor Kayak special is its amenities.
With parking, a shop, restrooms, an idyllic terrace cafe overlooking the lake and kayak rentals at a brilliant AED30 price, it is a kayaking experience that is well worth a trip.
