Overview

This Dubai desert safari begins with a hotel pickup and a drive in a 4x4 vehicle across the desert dunes. The first part of the tour includes dune bashing, where a professional driver navigates the vehicle over the sand dunes. Guests can also try sandboarding on the dunes and stop to take photos of the desert sunset. After this, the group arrives at a Bedouin-style camp in the desert. At the camp, guests have the option to take a short camel ride, which can be repeated if desired. Visitors may also try on traditional Arabic clothing, have henna designs applied, and smoke Arabic shisha. A souvenir shop is available at the camp. The evening continues with a buffet-style BBQ dinner featuring both vegetarian and non-vegetarian Middle Eastern dishes. Entertainment includes traditional performances such as the Tanoura dance, belly dance, and a fire show. Soft drinks and water are provided throughout the evening. After the dinner and shows, guests are transported back to their hotels. The entire safari lasts about six hours and is guided in English.
