Cheetahs, giraffes, Arabian oryx, and gazelles are just a few of the 70 or so species that reside on Sir Bani Yas Island, located just a three hour drive from Abu Dhabi City. The spectacular wildlife, otherworldly vistas and crisp blue skies formed the enchanting backdrop of our first location. Take a look at what went into the shoots in the gallery below.
