Umbrella Island, Abu Dhabi
Nestled within the emerald bayous of the National Mangrove Park lies a once-secret island, now a treasure waiting to be discovered.
This hidden gem was unveiled by the visionary founders of Husaak Adventures Abu Dhabi during their exploration of routes amidst the vast expanse of mangroves. Amidst the lush landscape, a simple shaded hut – aptly named Umbrella Island – beckoned. Here, Husaak embarked on camping trips in Abu Dhabi for everyone.
A gentle reminder: Every visit carries a responsibility. Leave this paradise better than you found it.
