A breath of fresh air - It was genuinely a breath of fresh air. The serene beauty of the mangroves and the peaceful vibe of the Al Thakira Reserve make it an oasis in the desert. Kayaking through those calm waters, surrounded by the mangrove trees and the occasional glimpse of wildlife, was like therapy for the soul. The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly, adding to the experience. However, it's a short one-hour ride, and if you're expecting an adrenaline rush, this might not be it. But if you're all about reconnecting with nature and escaping the hustle and bustle for a while, it's absolutely worth it. Just remember some bug spray – those little critters can be quite persistent!
