Overview

This 7.5-hour desert safari in Dubai offers a mix of activities in the Arabian desert. After hotel pickup, guests travel by 4x4 to the desert camp. Upon arrival, refreshments including Arabic tea, coffee, and dates are served, and restroom facilities are available. Every guest receives their own quad bike for open desert riding on the dunes, with options to ride for 10, 30, or 60 minutes. This is not a circuit ride but a chance to ride across high dunes under safety supervision. Next, the group takes a 45-minute dune bashing ride in a 4x4 SUV over tall golden sand dunes, with photo stops along the way. This part is suited for those seeking an exciting roller coaster-style ride through the desert landscape. The final part of the tour is spent at the Majlis Elite Camp, a large Bedouin-style camp situated deep in the desert with no roads leading to it. The camp offers camel rides on a 200-meter track (repeat rides allowed), sandboarding, henna design for women, and shesha smoking in the tent. Guests can watch five live shows including Khaleeji dance, Tanoura, fire displays, and belly dance (except during Ramadan). Dinner is a five-course BBQ buffet with vegetarian and Jain options available, served with soft drinks, lemon mint, pineapple juice, and water. There is also a night market setup and toilet facilities. After dinner, guests can stargaze before being returned to their hotels.

Each guest receives a personal quad bike for riding on the open desert dunes, which is more adventurous than a circuit ride limited to a small area. Guests can select a 10, 30, or 60-minute ride according to their preference. Safety is prioritized throughout.
