Despite the easing of lockdown restrictions in the region, some of us are still adopting a slower pace of life and when possible, staying in the safe sanctuary of home. If you’re using the weekend to unwind (and avoid the summer's humidity), but you still want to let your mind drift — then tune into Discovery’s array of shows designed to explore the world as part of the channel’s ‘Destination: Escape’ curated special.
From the bitter chills of Alaska, to the desert heat of our home city of Dubai, and everywhere in between, there’s hours of worldly adventures to help ease the itchy feet of avid explorers and those looking for a great escape that doesn’t involve travel.
On our ‘must-watch’ list? Wild Dubai, which highlights the city’s heritage and important conservation work being carried out in reserves across the Emirate. Unearthing an array of unexpected – often hidden – species, such as the Arabian horned viper, flamingos, scorpions and mice, the documentary takes viewers beyond the city limits and into some the homes of these captivating creatures.
