Abu Dhabi has a white water stream in a singing desert
Travel
"Back! Back! Presently, forward! Stop! GET DOWN, GET DOWN!"
Rajendra Shrestha's voice resonates through Abu Dhabi's Jebel Hafeet mountains as we explore the misleading exciting bends in the road of the quick
"He tumbled off! He tumbled off!"
Shrestha shouts as I'm unexpectedly pulled underneath the agitating water. Arising back to the surface, I frantically thrash my arms, looking for something to clutch, expecting to recapture strength.
"Unwind, unwind," he consoles me, his voice slicing through the confusion. Shrestha connects, pulling me back into the pontoon. He puts my oar in my grasp, and we move forward, continuing our excursion.
This is no standard waterway; it is the consequence of a $50 million man-made park built between Abu Dhabi's parched mountains on one side and a rambling desert on the other.
Situated in the desert spring city of Al Ain, simply 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi's downtown area, Al Ain Experience Park gladly asserts the title of the Center East's most memorable objective for wilderness boating, kayaking and surfing.
It's a strange sight in a locale where no regular streams exist, and summer temperatures frequently take off upwards of 120 F (49 C).
Top notch watersports
In a nation where almost everything is misleadingly made, including sea shores, snow, and even downpour, Al Ain Experience follows after accordingly.
The recreation area flaunts an elite kayaking and boating experience. White water channels length 1.2 kilometers (0.75 miles), giving a moving excursion to kayakers and rafters, all things considered.
Shrestha is a carefully prepared watersports lover who has consumed the majority of his time on earth boating. He's contended expertly in world boating contests in Nepal, Japan, India and the UAE. He filled in as chief of Nepal's public group, two times.
Shrestha joined the Al Ain Experience group back in 2010, carrying an abundance of involvement to the recreation area.
He says his main thing from the gig is the exceptional blend of exciting games across the board area.
A demonstrating ground for the geniuses
Al Ain Experience Park has earned worldwide respect as a center point for sports experts trying to improve their abilities in different disciplines.
Drawing competitors from across the globe, including riding champions, rafters and Olympic kayak groups, the recreation area has turned into a favored preparation objective.
Every year, from November to Spring, slalom kayakers from Europe and Russia merge on the recreation area for serious instructional courses. The recreation area says it consistently has 300 or more competitors from 35 distinct nations.
Remarkable rivalries held at the recreation area incorporate the renowned World Boating Title coordinated by the Global Boating League in 2016, as well as a progression of slalom kayaking preparing and different contests.

Why I Decided on Business Before I Even Finished School
I’ve always had the need to create something of my own. I never had a dream job. Not even once. When people asked me what I wanted to become, there was no clear answer—because deep inside, I knew I didn’t want to be stuck anywhere. I tried to think about college, about following a “safe” path, but it never felt right. I didn’t feel it. The only thing that ever felt natural to me was business.

The Alpine Appetite: Inside Switzerland’s $8 Billion Food Service Shift (2026–2034)
The "Hyper-Local" Revolution In 2026, the Swiss "farm-to-fork" movement has matured from a niche trend into a baseline consumer expectation. Driven by high environmental awareness, Swiss diners are increasingly prioritizing the origin of their food over global luxury brands. The "Bio Suisse" logo and regional labels have become the most powerful marketing tools in the industry. Restaurants in urban hubs like Zurich and Geneva are now integrating "In-House Micro-Farms" automated hydroponic units that allow chefs to harvest greens and herbs directly in the dining room, slashing the carbon footprint and emphasizing the freshness that Swiss consumers demand.

Foot Bindings
I asked my grandmother how she knew she'd fallen in love. I am not sure I ever did love him, she said. This was before I met my husband. I was naive, a naked spring, a raw nerve of a thing. That cannot ever be me, I knew. Sadness swept in gently like a Moscow thaw. It is no simple thing, looking into a woman's vast soul and seeing its foot bindings. Now, in Italy divorced with my skin singed off, when I say I don't love him mean: I have succeeded at feeling nothing most days and it mostly works. Do you want the comfort of Nothing? Do you want Nothing, too? Be warned: you'll never be free, even when you are nothing. Here is what doesn't work: Accepting the stages of grief. Talking about it. Sitting with the feeling. Missing him—no, the person you were when you believed in death do us part. Writing poetry. That, too. When I say I don't love him I mean: I feel capsized in an endless, starved tide. What sometimes works: selective memory. You must forget ripe tomatoes and his beard and feeling perfectly sheltered in a big blue world. Forget coffee in bed, laughter watching TV, blowing out the candles on the birthday cake and the quiet all-encompassing knowledge that you are chosen. Remember only how love turned to a banal everyday survival act, a trapeze act unsure whether he will catch you, how the warmth stagnated and became sour, remember the foot bindings and remember the resentment boiling in your veins as you stick it out for the kids. Six-hour Netflix binges help, too. A man's fingers tracing your spine. Frozen pizza at 2 a.m. Random trips to the museum just to stand near things that last a while. The realization that crying won’t change anything. Seeing that life is just a dream, and refusing to participate in your own suffering. Bite your fist. Walk on eggshells around joy. When I say I don't love him, I mean he didn’t break my heart, he just stopped touching it and it forgot how to beat right.
