Islamic point of view about exploring the world:

Before getting into details of the desert safari in Dubai, we must learn about Islamic point of view of travelling, exploring and learning about Allah's creations.

In the Holy Quran, Allah says:

قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ بَدَأَ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ يُنشِئُ النَّشْأَةَ الْآخِرَةَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٢٠﴾

Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent." (Saheeh International)

Muslims are being told to go around the world and take a good look and ponder and study the beginnings of creation. Though, we are being told to study the origin of species. We are being told to study how the creation began so Muslims shouldn't be afraid of study the life sciences, the origins of creations etc. because Allah Himself told us to study all that.
