Overview

This six-hour evening desert safari in Abu Dhabi includes hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle. The trip starts with a 45-60 minute drive to the desert, where guests visit a camel farm to meet and photograph camels and then enjoy a dune bashing ride over the sand dunes led by experienced drivers. There is also time for sandboarding and a photo break amid the desert landscape before heading to the desert camp. At the camp, visitors are welcomed with Arabic coffee and dates and can relax in a Bedouin-style area with floor cushions and low tables. Activities include henna painting, shisha smoking, and taking photos in traditional Arabic outfits. A short camel ride at sunset is also part of the experience. Afterward, live performances feature Tanoura, belly dance, and fire dancing shows. The evening concludes with a BBQ buffet dinner offering grilled Arabian kebabs, salads, regional main dishes, and desserts. After dinner, lights are dimmed briefly for stargazing before the return trip to the original pickup point. Tea, coffee, Arabic coffee, dates, bottled water, and soft drinks are included throughout the tour.
