Plant Life Is Also Part Of The Desert In Dubai

The deserts are picturesque by themselves

The deserts are picturesque by themselves. During the day the sand dunes shine with the yellow sunlight and during the night, the stars and the moon light up the brilliant undulating landscape. Therefore not many people expect any greenery from this kind of terrain. They believe that plant life is non-existent in the desert in general. Although you may spot only a scarce amount of it on your dune buggy safari, camel ride in Dubai or on your quad bike in Dubai, brightly coloured flora and fauna are also a part of the desert.

Who says that vegetation cannot be or is not cultivated on sand? A variety of fruits can be obtained from the plants, trees and shrubs out there in spite of the extreme climate. These plants have been able to adapt to the harsh winds, arid lands, dry climate and hot sunshine. Tribulus is a genus of the plant world that can survive highly dehydrating conditions. Thus even if other desert vegetation cant, these plants will surely survive. Many kinds of animals in the desert are able to survive in the desert because of this particular species. Therefore you will need to travel deep into the desert on your quad bike to witness such a sight. Apart from this life-saving supplement, palm trees grow very well in the desert. Many only know of the coconuts on palm trees being useful as a thirst quenching drink, but the people who live in the desert in Dubai know how to utilize each and every part of this tree to the fullest. Mats, roofs, ropes, scrubbers as well as fuel for cooking are also obtained from the palm tree.

The Bedouins have always relished the brightly coloured red fruit from the Fire bush that grows in the desert. This is used as spice and the shoots are utilized as vegetable. Eyelash plant (also known as Blepharis Ciliaris) is used to make kohl that women usually apply to their eyes.

Thus if you are really looking for a meaningful desert experience on your Dubai desert safari, ask a good tour company like One World Travels in UAE to provide it for you.
