Desert safari is one of the most popular outdoor entertainment in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>The desert is an important tourist area in Dubai, and \u2018Safari tourism\u2019 plays an important role in giving people a unique opportunity to discover the desert and its natural beauty. The \u2018School of Life\u2019 sessions will be hosted by Al Safa Art and Design Library, followed by similar sessions in Al Twar and Hor Al Anz libraries.<\/p>\n<p>Each session in the programme sheds light on a set of skills that camping and safari enthusiasts need, and offers them different methods to help them navigate and survive the desert as well as learn ways to build tents simply and inexpensively.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the natural beauty of the desert, it remains a vast place in which it is easy to get lost. It can require possession of a set of certain skills, which are provided by the \u2018Building Your Survival Kit\u2019 session. These tools enable them to survive in the sand dunes, while in the \u2018Navigating in the Desert\u2019 session, they learn about signs and instruments that help them, in case they were lost, to communicate with anyone in the desert, and show them how to distinguish visual and audible signals and use them to speed up rescue operations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubaiverse.io\">The desert in Dubai<\/a> is not barren, but rather a vibrant area, especially in the winter, when it turns into a destination for families to spend some time camping. In the \u2018Scavenger Hunt\u2019 session, the \u2018School of Life\u2019 project present ways and games that families can play in the desert to activate the language of communication between their members.<\/p>\n<p>All the knowledge-based and interactive \u2018School of Life\u2019 activities, supervised by a group of experts, reflect the commitment of Dubai Culture to providing an innovative educational environment across the Dubai Public Library network, in an effort to develop and refine the skills of society, and to adopt positive thinking as a basic value. The project is in line with the Authority\u2019s vision of cementing Dubai&#8217;s position as a global centre for culture, an incubator for creativity and a thriving hub for talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), through its \u2018School of Life\u2019 project, is presenting a programme rich in knowledge and interactions next December under the theme \u2018The Great Outdoors,\u2019 aimed at building creativity and life skills for citizens and residents across the Dubai Public Library network.
