This is a 4-hour morning safari in Dubai that includes hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle. The trip begins with a transfer to Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the country's largest unfenced desert area. After about 50 minutes, guests arrive at Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve to start a dune ride in an open-air Vintage G Class Mercedes from the 1980s. During the 30-40 minute drive, there is a stop to photograph the Al Ghaf tree and other desert plants, while learning about local desert flora, fauna, and Bedouin traditions. Wildlife such as Arabian oryx, Ghazals, Falcons, and various birds may be seen. Next, the group reaches the Bedouin Village where a traditional welcome includes Arabic coffee, dates, and luqaimat sweets before taking part in a 10-12 minute camel caravan ride, which can be repeated. The village is built with natural materials like goat hair and is located around a desert oasis. Guests can watch live cooking of a traditional Bedouin breakfast and enjoy tea or coffee prepared by a local host. The visit continues with activities such as Arabian makeup (Kandura for men, Abaya for women), henna tattoos, and browsing Arabic spices and local handicrafts. Bedouin music and stories provide context to the lifestyle here. The tour concludes with a return drive to the hotel in Dubai. The entire safari lasts about four hours including pickup and drop-off. Children under 5 may join at child rates but cannot ride camels and must stay with an adult during the camel ride portion. Pick-up times may shift seasonally and will be communicated in advance.
