An immaculate tarmac strip that wends through the wild desert landscape.
An eighty-metre stretch, Al Qudra Cycle Path is a foray into the barren desert land of United Arab Emirates. The path runs along Al Qudra Road before breaking off into a loop, a round trip that can take up to three hours to complete. As you speed down the endless stretch of road surrounded by nothing but the infinite sky and sand, an uplifting sense of peace overcome will you, stemming from the spectacular combination of insignificance and liberty. This is where you will chance upon elusive desert animals, including snakes that slither across the path and camels that trot in the distance.
With a predominantly even terrain that still works up a sweat, Al Qudra Cycle Path is a perfect nature ride for regular people and professional bikers. Watch as the arid shrubbery and trees give way to unbroken desert land, and as the different shades of sand dunes spin into a whorl of colours. Enjoy the cool morning breeze as you greet the rising sun in the distance. Or admire the sunset blaze that sets the landscape alight in a sea of fire. A sightseeing trail that makes you move, Al Qudra Cycle Path is a rare getaway from the urban hotbed of Dubai into the unadulterated beauty of the desert.
