Rob Nicholas has lived in the UAE for 37 years, and talks to us a little about his first memories of the move. He always admired the Sherpas of the Himalayas who guide and assist adventurers in their quest to tackle the world’s toughest peaks. Sand Sherpa aims to put our adventurers in touch with nature and to feel part of it. As humans, this is our natural environment and by integrating with it, we feel more relaxed and connected with each other – our family, friends, and other adventurers.
