Middle East is a land with its own grandeur and pride. So are the Arabian horses, a breed that are native to the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian horses are one of the first things that come to one’s mind first at the mention of the Middle East. The other phrases often associated with the Middle East are, luxury, desert, and of course the Arabian coffee. Among the countries in the Middle East one that is popular among tourists is the UAE. Abu Dhabi remains well in par with the modern world and is often a top pick by tourist. It can often be said that Abu Dhabi Resorts also are a key factor which attracts the tourist to this region.

The horses in the region are easily recognizable by their distinctive head shape as well as the high tail. Most tourist who come to Abu Dhabi often want to visit one of the stables or turf clubs to have a close experience with these Arabian horses. One of the hotels that have been making this experience possible for its guests is Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara.

The horses in the region are considered to be one of the oldest in the world and according to archaeological findings they date back to around 4500 years. The breed has now widely spread around the world mainly due to war and trade. They are often used to improve other breeds found around the world by adding or enhancing their speed, refinement, endurance, and bone strength. Hence it is common that most modern horses have the Arabian Blood line. They are often praised for their discipline in endurance riding. The Arabian horses are also one of the top ten horse breeds in the world.
