In this month’s issue of OutdoorUAE, we look at numerous travel options that are easily accessible from the UAE. From The Maldives (no, you don’t have to be on your honeymoon) to Thailand, there’s plenty of options to suit your needs, whether you want to relax or have an adventure. For the more active, we have event reports from the Great Wall of China Marathon and the WOW Cyclothon in stunning Iceland. On a more serious note, we head to Mali with Action Against Poaching and Boots on the Ground, to find out more about what’s being done to protect elephants and rhinos in the region. As usual, we also have our product reviews, including the CycleOps virtual trainer, for those who want to cycle somewhere else, virtually!
