Each emirate has a group of six or eight horsemen that pair off and patrol through 6 kms in the desert searching for any troublemakers who have sheltered in the desert, and watch areas outside cities that cars can’t reach. Being a part of Police, they saddle their horses with a police symbol. The horsemen wear kanduras, wrapping it around their waists with beige riding trousers, black boots, and a traditional headgear wrapped around their foreheads. Equipping themselves with mobile phones and walkie-talkies, they usually stand few minutes near farms and camps looking for any trouble signs. They also assit the police in fugitive-related incidents and drug busts. They patrol from 6pm to midnight and work a four-hour shift.
