Desert horsemen

As the sun sets in the desert, the horsemen that are considered the eyes of the desert start their work through the dunes. They search for any troublemakers or suspicious events around Al Awafie desert. They are part of the RAK police patrol division. These men are responsible for areas that are hard to be reached by cars. All horses are trained not to be frightened by high sounds such as buggies, because some people try to distract them. Most horsemen are from India and trying to recruit Emirati people instead didn’t succeed. Each patrol group consists of 6-8 men; they cover up to 6 kilometers, and the shift is about 4 hours. In conclusion, horse patrols are an important division to complete the work of the police force.
