Lappet-faced Vulture

Arabian Oryx

Oryx leucoryx

Al maha, al baqr, al barra

Description

The Arabian Oryx is uniform white, while the flank stripe is absent or only an indistinct smudge. The lower limbs are a chocolate brown to black with the exception of pure white patterns. The face and nose have dark patches and there is often a dark stripe that runs under the neck to the forelegs. In summer dark patches are lighter and often absent altogether. Calves are a uniform brown colour.

Among the many local names used to describe the Arabian Oryx is Al Maha. Female Oryx weigh about 80 kg and males about 90 kg. Occasionally males may reach 100 kg. In good grazing conditions Oryx may live to 20 years. In drought life expectancy is greatly reduced.

Range and Habitat

Arabian Oryx once occurred over all or most of the plains and deserts of the Arabian Peninsula.

Female Oryx may conceive at just over 12 months old. Male Oryx may be mature by two years but in the face of competition from other males are unlikely to start breeding until at least three years. Oryx may calve in any month of the year but there is a general pattern of births in the winter period December to April. This is thought to be largely the consequence of winter rains influencing conception. Most female will calve annually, provided adequate food resources are present.

After 18 months of drought females are less likely to conceive and may be unable to suckle their calves. Births are usually single with only one case of twins since the reintroduction began in 1982. Birth sex ratio is usually 50:50 (male: female) and in the wild under normal conditions the sex ratio of the population is 50:50. Gestation Period is usually about 8.5 months.

Arabian Gazelle

Gazella arabica

Al idhmi, Al gazal al jabali

Of all gazelle species, the Arabian gazelle is the most slender. The coat is fawn to dark-brown on the back, neck and head, while the belly and buttocks are pure white, separated on the flanks by a dark narrow band. The coat is short, sleek and glossy in summer, reflecting much of the sun's radiation. In winter the pelage is much longer, dense, rainproof and not glossy. Desert subspecies show less seasonal variations in their pelage.

The face has two conspicuous white stripes extending from the eyes towards the nostrils with dark-brown to black lower margins, coupled usually with a black spot on the muzzle above the nose. The male's horns are quite long (22–29.4 cm), while those of females are generally shorter (5.8-11.5 cm).

Desert subspecies are only 12-16 kg, longer-legged and with a relatively longer body and ears than mountainous subspecies. Arabian gazelle can reach speeds of 65 km per hour if in danger. Their diet comprises grasses, herbs and shrubs, depending on the habitat.

At present Arabian gazelle remain along the Red Sea coast and in the Asir Mountains in Saudi Arabia, on the Farasan Islands in the Red Sea off the southwest coast of Saudi Arabia, along the coast and mountains of Yemen and Oman and in the United Arab Emirates.

Arabian gazelles live in low altitude mountains, sometimes in very steep (up to 45°) terrain, but avoid rocky areas and walking on rocks. They prefer plateaus, hilly relief, foothills and valleys between mountains and open habitats or areas with light forest in gravel or sandy plains, but also occur in regions of real desert and coastal dunes.

In Arabia, they usually live on rough terrain of mountain beds, gorges, and rolling hills.

A single fawn is born after a gestation period of around 180 days. Gazelles living in deserts can breed throughout the year, but there are two birth peaks: in spring (March - May) and in autumn (October). The life-span is 13 years in captivity and not more than 8 years in the wild.

Tracks and Signs

Rams mark their territory by urinating and defecating on middens.

Sand Gazelle

Gazella marica

Al gazal al rheem

Unlike most gazelles, females of this species are mostly, although not always, hornless, while males boast long, elegantly curved, lyre-like, black horns that diverge outwards and turn back in at the tip. Interestingly, horn development in females increases from Mongolia and China, where they are almost completely hornless, to the Arabian Peninsula, where they have well-developed horns.

They vary in colouration between populations, from nearly white to brown with different tones of grey, red or yellow. Generally, the very light brown colouration of the back darkens towards the flanks, where it meets the white under parts in a crisp line, and the black colouration of the first two thirds of the tail contrasts starkly against the white of the buttocks. Eyes are large and black, and the ears are long. Legs and neck are relatively long and the tail is quite short.

Males are larger and heavier than females, weighing up to 22kg.

Endangered Status

Vulnerable.

The species is now locally extinct in many regions, including Georgia, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria and Yemen, and near extinct in Jordan. A wide variety of desert and semi-arid habitats are occupied. They occur in flat and rolling areas, but prefer foothills with broken grounds, and mountain valley and plateaus, avoiding rocky cliffs, thick woody vegetation, and lands used for agriculture or intensive livestock grazing and areas devoid of gullies and ravines.

Gestation period is 5-6 months with most births happening between March and May. It is the only antelope in this area that often give birth to twins. The young spend their first days in shallow scrapes or under bushes until they are strong enough to move with the adults.

Tracks & Signs

This gazelle leaves a track much like any other in the sand and the dung is also very similar too. While Tracks left on harder surfaces are slightly longer.

Arabian Red Fox

Vulpes vulpes arabica

Al taleb al ahmer

The Arabian Red Fox is similar in colour to the common Red Fox. However, it is more adapted to desert life than its parent species and is a brownish pale red colour. The throat is black and abdomen white. The lower legs and ears are reddish, with a reddish-brown bushy tail, tipped in white. Its ears are much larger, and its body is much smaller than that of the Red Fox. It also has fur between its toes, to prevent burning of the feet on the hot desert sand.

This fox is a solitary animal with well defined home ranges. Its diet consists of rodents, birds, and fish as well as some desert vegetation or even carrion. They are most active at night. Their average weight is 2.7kg - 4.5kg.

The Arabian Red Fox is found throughout the UAE and can adapt to all habitats, from desert to mountains, as well as the urban environment. However, it does not seem to penetrate areas such as the Liwa Desert with soft sand and high dunes.

The vixen (female fox) can have up to five cubs usually in the spring in a den dug into the sand under a bush. She will then suckle the cubs for up to two months before they start to forage with her, later dispersing to establish their own territories.

Pawprints show distinctive claw marks and are dog-track like in shape.

Leptiens Spiny-tailed Lizard

Uromastyx aegyptia leptieni

Reptile, Lizard, Agama

A large lizard that can live for up to 80 years and grow to 65cm in length, it has a spiny tail which it will use in its defence. They are able to changes their skin colour through the day. In the mornings, when they are cold, they are a dark grey. The dark colour absorbs the solar heat, which warms them up quickly. Once optimum body temperature is reached they turn light sandy beige which then reflects the sunlight and prevents them from over heating.

The Dhub is preyed upon by the Desert Monitor and large birds of prey, such as eagles, as well as by man. Bedouin considered the tail of the Dhub a delicacy which they roast over a fire before eating.

Found only in the UAE and Oman, they live in loose colonies on hard substrates such as gravel plains into which they can dig their deep burrows. They will then utilise a territory around their burrow to graze the shrubs and bush, as the adult Dhub is 99% herbivorous.

Not much is known about its breeding. Males can be observed fighting from May – June (below centre), after which courtship of females commences

Their dung is darker when fresh and lightens as it dries out. Dhubs most often leave an unmistakable track, dragging their tails as they move across the ground. The bottom jaw of a Dhub shows the bony plate of 'teeth' it uses to chew.

Desert Monitor

Varanus griseus

Reptile, Lizard, Monitor

The largest lizard in the UAE it grows to 120cm of which the majority is its tail. Sandy in colour with darker speckling, it blends in superbly in the desert environment. One of the most aggressive reptiles in the UAE: when threatened they will inflate their bodies with air and hiss loudly. It will then use its tail in a whip-like action for self defence as well as giving a painful bite which will often become infected. The monitor is an active hunter and will eat anything it can catch and overpower; this includes other reptiles, small mammals, birds and even carrion.

Although predominantly desert-dwelling, the desert monitor occupies variety of arid and semi-arid habitats including clay steppe, savanna and riverbeds up to elevations of 1,300 meters. Subspecies Varanus griseus griseus is found from the Rio de Oro in the Western Sahara, east to Egypt and northern Sudan, its range also extends throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and from there, north to south-eastern Turkey.

The female will lay eggs in an underground burrow and leave them to hatch by ground heat. Males grow larger than the females.

Plain Tiger

Danaus chrysippus

Medium-sized (wingspan 60mm), with orange-brown wings, bordered with black. Apex of forewings black with white bar and spots. Hind wings with black spots. Male with four, female with three on each wing. Side of the thorax black with white spots. Antennae are clubbed.

Males generally have large hair pencils that release pheromones during courtship and procure sexual pheromones by feeding on several withered plants. Eggs are flattened domes with prominent ribs. Larvae will pupate underneath leaves or in between bark.

Range and Habitats

Larvae feed on Sodom’s apples and fire bush (part of the milkweed family), which results in them being poisonous. Caterpillars and adults are brightly colored. Widespread in the UAE.

Pupae are hardly seen, in between the think foliage of the fire bush, being small and light green and white perfectly camouflaged.

Zahar

Tribulus arabicus

Botanical Description

Perennial, stems branching from base, up to 70cm high, with ascending and spreading stout greyish-green branches, woody at the base, densely hairy.

Grey-green, opposite, one leaf half the size of the other, leaflets oblong with pointed tips.

Large, 1.5 to 2cm across, solitary, yellow, 5 petals, 5 sepals, on 1cm long stalk from the leaf nodes.

Densely hairy, with 5 unequal wings, shallowly toothed edge, underside of stems.

From February to September.

Stable sand and sand plains.

Distribution

Common and widespread in sandy regions.

There are no records of its use in the UAE.

Pharaoh Eagle Owl

Bubo ascalaphus

Bird, Raptor

Description:

The Pharaoh Eagle Owl is a fairly large owl, its body length is around 50 cm and can weigh up to 2.3kg. Females are large and heavier than males. When adult, their feathers are cinnamon or ginger in tone, with a lower breast and belly noticeably barred. Its eyes are yellow to deep orange.

They are primarily active between sunset and sunrise, hunting mainly on small vertebrates such as rodents, lizards, and smaller birds, but also insects and scorpions. During the day, they can be found perched in trees or roosting in mountain crevices and cave entrances.

These owls can be found in mountains, cliffs, rocky outcrops, and sand desert with large trees and shrubs.

The Pharaoh Eagle Owl is a resident breeder in the UAE, nesting in the winter period between December and April. Males and females pair for life, having a clutch of 2 to 4 eggs at a time. In the first month when the eggs are laid, the female incubates the eggs alone while the male hunts and supplies the food. Once the eggs are hatched, both female and male share feeding duties until the hatchlings leave the nest. Nests can be found in mountain crags and crevices, Ghaf trees, Prosopis cineraria, or inside large desert shrubs such as the Broom Bush, Leptadenia pyrotechnica .

Tracks and Signs:

One clear indication a Pharaoh Eagle Owl is present in an area is by finding its pellets, generally containing small bones from small invertebrates and insect carapaces. Another sign of Pharaoh Eagle Owl presence is by coming upon their distinct yellowish-orange, beige, and brown feathers.

Lappet-faced Vulture

Torgos tracheliotus

The Lappet-faced Vulture is one of the largest vultures in the world. These vultures weigh between 6 to 9Kgs, have body lengths of around 1 meter, and wingspans of about 2.5 meters. When adult, their feathers are overall blackish-brown and their feet and legs are white. As indicated in the name, their heads and forenecks are unfeathered with loose folds of pinkish-white skin.

They are mainly active during the day, using thermals, pockets of warm rising air, to move around and detect carcasses from high up above. Capable of soaring for long periods of time, they are able to travel several hundreds of kilometres without stopping. As scavengers, they primarily feed on carrion. In the DDCR, they are frequently recorded feeding on Arabian Oryx ( Oryx leucoryx ), Arabian Gazelle ( Gazella arabica ) and Sand Gazelle ( Gazella marica ), carcasses.

These vultures can be found in mountains, rocky wadis, semi-desert steppes, and desert with large trees and shrubs.

Lappet-faced Vulture nests can be found on top of large flat-top trees, such as Umbrella Thorn Acacia, Vachellia tortilis,  and in crevices and crags on mountain slopes. Vulture pairs build large stick nests and refurbish them annually. Usually a single-egg clutch can be found in nests, but two-egg clutches can also occur. Males and females share responsibility for incubation, providing shade to hatchlings, and chick rearing. The incubation period is about 2 months and chicks fledge around 4 months after hatching.

Large blackish-brown feathers are often found in areas where vultures congregate, indicating that the vultures preened themselves and stayed in the area for an extended amount of time. Another clear sign of vulture presence is their distinctively large, four-toed, pointed claw tracks.

Quantitative analysis of the hyper-arid vegetation changes under grazing in Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve

Species name

To implement a continuous practical and efficient vegetation monitoring program by applying analytical tools for effective data interpretations. As vegetation is the base of the food pyramid the expected data and information is indispensable for managing the ecology of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.

To evaluate the current state of the DDCR vegetation, the study is focuses on the assessment of density, cover, and biodiversity of the flora in the DDCR and follows the continued monitoring and repeated vegetation studies of 2004 (El Alqamy, 2004) and 2009 (Khafaga, 2009). To present the results through the mapping of the vegetation and by defining the lineage between different floral communities, using multivariate analysis combined with GIS techniques.

Methodology

Using the plot sampling method at 302 randomly selected sites, at each site, a circular plot is adapted for sampling the vegetation with an area of 50m diameter and each plot in total is equivalent to 7850m2. (Khafaga, 2009) Plant species in each given plot are tentatively recorded in the field and put in tabulated form, giving the authentication of their identification with the help of the floristic books. For each species total number of individuals are counted and an average size (length x width x height) is calculated. To achieve the goal, data interpretation will require the adoption of the following strategies: - Floristic composition and phytosociology

  • Density and Relative Density
  • Abundance and Relative Abundance
  • Frequency and Relative Frequency
  • Cover and Relative Cover
  • Important Value Index (Species Dominance).

- Diversity Indices

  • Simpson Dominance Index
  • Shannon Diversity Index
  • Margalef Richness Index

- Spatiotemporal variation of plant communities

  • The calculation of the values of the diversity indices of individual plots over different habitats will interpolate predicted variety in un-sampled areas and will produce an overall picture of how diversity is changing over the entire DDCR.

Expected outcomes

The anticipated results will encompass three main themes. These are:

  • Assessing species diversity and variability of the DDCR flora.
  • Comparison of floral communities in different habitats, specifically comparing the populations of Gravel Plains against those of Sand Dunes.
  • Examining the vegetation diversity through various monitoring events and with altered adverse pressure and climatic factors.

Changes in functional diversity under grazing pressure in hyperarid shrubland ecosystem

Species name

To investigate the term Functional diversity “a variety of life-history traits presented by an assemblage of organisms” with regards to the vegetation diversity of DDCR. It has been postulated to be critical for the maintenance of ecosystem processes and properties. The conceptual linkages between ecosystem disturbance, species diversity and functional diversity are fundamental to resource management and conservation planning.

To study the changes in intensity and timing of grazing and its effect on the changes in taxonomical and functional composition and subsequent changes in ecosystem functioning. These changes will explain the great interest in monitoring the impact of grazing on plant communities for the purpose of preserving their biodiversity and economic or aesthetic values.

  • Divide the reserve into three sectors (North, Centre and South).
  • In each area, randomly select 25 sites for each habitat types (Gravel Plains and Sand Dunes), 150 sites in total.
  • Build a matrix of different vegetation Functional traits for various monitoring times (2009 & 2017).
  • Choose 24 “Functional Traits” to study the effect of grazing on vegetation and measure the response diversity in DDCR ecosystem.
  • All attributes values will be recorded from published sources and herbarium information, except for the “plant heights” trait which will be measured in the field or collected from previous measured field studies.
  • Anova and Diversity indices will be applied.
  • A set of complete functional traits of DDCR.
  • The change of the vegetation functional traits between different grazing pressures.
  • A prediction of which functional character are more resilient and less vulnerable to any disturbances.
  • Assessment of the changes in the diversity responses along a grazing gradient (the spatial variation of disturbance intensity).

1. The basics — planning your desert safari Dubai

Before we delve into the exhilarating world of desert safaris, let’s cover the basics.

Dubai desert safaris are available year-round, but the best time to visit is during the cooler months from October to April. This period offers pleasant weather with daytime temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, making outdoor activities much more enjoyable. Traveling during this time will ensure a more comfortable experience without the scorching summer heat.

Desert safaris can be a half-day or full-day experience, with some options even extending into overnight stays. The choice depends on your preferences, schedule, and how immersive you want your experience to be. Whether you’re a brief thrill-seeker or a more adventurous traveler, Dubai desert safari options cater to your needs.

Morning safari

For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, the morning safari is ideal. It includes dune bashing and sandboarding, followed by a visit to a camel farm, and a chance to meet the graceful creatures. The morning sunlight paints the desert in warm tones, offering a serene and peaceful backdrop for your adventure.

Evening safari

The evening safari is perfect for witnessing the desert’s stunning sunset. It typically includes dune bashing, camel rides, and a lavish barbecue dinner in a desert camp. You can also enjoy traditional dances and henna painting. The dramatic transition from day to night in the desert is a spectacle you won’t want to miss.

Overnight safari

For a more immersive experience, consider the overnight safari. After an evening of fun and cultural experiences, you can spend the night under the starlit desert sky in a traditional Bedouin-style camp. It’s an opportunity to truly connect with the desert’s serenity and beauty.

Private safari

If you’re looking for a more personalized experience, private safaris are available, where you can customize the activities and even choose your campsite. This option is perfect for those seeking an exclusive and tailored adventure.

4. Cultural encounters on a Dubai desert safari

Dubai desert safaris aren’t just about adventure; they also offer an opportunity to connect with the region’s rich culture and heritage.

Camel riding

Experience the age-old tradition of camel riding, a gentle and unhurried journey through the desert. Camels have long been a symbol of the Arabian Peninsula and a vital mode of transportation in the past. Riding one will give you a unique perspective of the vast desert landscape.

Camel riding is not just an adventure; it’s a connection to the roots of the region. As you sway gently atop these majestic creatures, you can appreciate the resilience of the Bedouin people who relied on camels for their survival. The experience evokes a sense of nostalgia for the past and an understanding of the desert’s importance in Emirati culture.

Falconry displays

Falconry is deeply ingrained in Emirati culture. Many Dubai desert safaris include falconry displays, where you can witness these majestic birds of prey in action. Learn about the ancient art of falconry and the significance of falcons in the region.

Falconry is not just a sport; it’s a tradition that has been passed down through generations. The bond between the falconer and the falcon is profound, and the incredible speed and precision of these birds in flight are a sight to behold. Watching a falconry display provides a glimpse into the long-standing connection between the people of the desert and these magnificent birds.

Traditional Bedouin camps

In the heart of the desert, you’ll find traditional Bedouin-style camps that recreate the ambiance of old Arabia. These camps are a perfect setting for cultural immersion. Enjoy traditional Arabic coffee and dates, get henna tattoos, and watch mesmerizing belly dance performances under the starry desert sky.

Visiting a traditional Bedouin camp allows you to step back in time and experience the simple yet beautiful way of life in the desert. The warm hospitality of the camp hosts, the aroma of Arabic coffee, and the rhythmic melodies of traditional music create an atmosphere that’s both enchanting and educational.

5. Dining in the desert

A highlight of your Dubai desert safari is undoubtedly the dining experience. From lavish barbecues to authentic Emirati cuisine, there’s something to satisfy every palate.

Barbecue dinners

Evening and overnight safaris often culminate in a delectable barbecue dinner served in the desert camp. Enjoy a spread of grilled meats, fresh salads, and an array of international and local dishes while you soak in the captivating desert ambiance.

Barbecue dinners in the desert are a culinary delight. The aroma of sizzling meat over open flames blends perfectly with the desert air. You can savor a variety of dishes, from succulent kebabs to perfectly marinated chicken. Dining under the open sky, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the desert, adds a touch of magic to your meal.

Emirati cuisine

For a more authentic experience, some Dubai desert safaris offer traditional Emirati cuisine, giving you a taste of the local flavors. Savor dishes like Al Harees (a slow-cooked wheat and meat dish) and Al Machboos (spiced rice with meat or seafood), provide an opportunity to explore the rich and diverse Emirati food culture.

Emirati cuisine is a treasure trove of flavors, deeply rooted in the country’s history and culture. The dishes are a reflection of the resourcefulness of the Bedouin people, who transformed simple ingredients into delectable dishes. Trying Emirati cuisine allows you to understand the history and heritage of the region through the language of food.

6. Additional activities on a desert safari Dubai

Aside from the key attractions, desert safaris in Dubai offer a range of other activities to keep you engaged.

Sandboarding

Channel your inner adventurer and try sandboarding down the desert dunes. It’s like snowboarding but on the soft sands of the Arabian desert. Whether you’re a seasoned boarder or a beginner, it’s a thrilling experience for all. As you glide down the dunes, you’ll feel the rush of adrenaline and the soft grains of sand under your feet. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the desert landscape from a different perspective and add a touch of adventure to your safari.

Hot air ballooning

For a more serene perspective of the desert, consider a hot air balloon ride. As you gently ascend into the sky, you’ll have a breathtaking panoramic view of the vast desert landscape. It’s a tranquil contrast to the adrenaline-fueled dune bashing. Hot air ballooning offers a peaceful and majestic view of the desert at sunrise or sunset, allowing you to appreciate the vastness and tranquility of this unique environment.

The desert’s isolation from city lights makes it an excellent location for stargazing. After the sun sets and the campfires are lit, lay back and marvel at the starry expanse above, a rare opportunity for urban dwellers to connect with the night sky. The desert’s silence and the clarity of the night make it a prime location for stargazing. You’ll be able to spot constellations, planets, and shooting stars, creating a profound connection with the universe.
