How we label pages

Guy-tested means Paris did it himself. Pages without the badge are guides written from research, with sources listed. We never sell badges.

The series and this site are owned by GID Global Media Productions FZ LLC.

The episodes

Highlights include learning to skydive solo, riding the Jebel Jais zipline, diving the MV Dara wreck, racing camels with a women's team, freediving for pearls and helping rescue sea turtles. See all episodes.

Why this site

Most travel guides list everything. We would rather tell you what it is actually like, the rules you need to know and where to go, with sources you can check.
