Discover the UAE’s natural environment by researching plants that are native to the deserts and mountains of the Emirates. Learn documentation techniques as you sketch, photograph or add actual plant specimens to your own field guide. Following in the footsteps of SB15 artist Rehab Eldalil, who has produced a flora field guide of native plants in South Sinai, Egypt, think of how your guidebook can transfer the knowledge and information you collect to others.
