Anantara Al Sahel featured as a Sir Bani Yas Island Getaway by Abu Dhabi City Guide

Sir Bani Yas is a historic island dating back to 600 – 750 A.D. that used to be a thriving trading ground for pearls. The island with pristine beaches and rich wildlife lies 9kms offshore from Jebel Dhanna. It was originally inhabited by Christian monks and later taken over by UAE’s most ancient tribes, the Bani Yas who lived on the island while mining salt as their trade. It is remarkable to note how this beautiful yet peculiar island was formed. Beyond the clear blue waters and the amazing population of wild animals, the fertile ground of the island boasts natural beauty. As you ascend to higher ground you begin to see the impressive change in colour of the soil making a greater impression. The colour variation ranges from light yellow to dark purple due to the high composition of coloured minerals. The popular island of Sir Bani Yas is naturally a tourist attraction due to its interesting geology and the clear blue waters besides the beautiful resorts and rich wildlife.
