Travelling the Girl Guide Way / United Arab Emirates & Oman - Big City & Desert

Why we picked it

**Travelling the Girl Guide Way** Many of Ottawa’s Girl Guide units travel abroad, from Europe to South America. The East End Travel Group, heading to Finland and Estonia in 2028, is stopping by to talk about their preparations, what they’re most excited about, and how the Guides will be travelling. And yes - they’ll be bringing cookies! **United Arab Emirates & Oman - Big City Big Desert** Dr. Andrew McKinley will present on his recent trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman where he visited Dubai, Muscat, the UAE’s expansive desert, and Oman’s gorgeous wadis (desert canyon oases).

Andrew will also discuss the rare wildlife he encountered including wild Arabian Oryx, Arabian Gazelles, Mouse Tailed Bats, and Zebra Sharks.
