This 16-hour desert safari starts with hotel pickup in Dubai between 2:00pm and 4:30pm, depending on the season and sunset time. Guests travel to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, where they receive a stainless steel water bottle and a traditional headscarf called a Sheila or Ghutra. The tour continues with a wildlife drive inside the reserve in an open-roof vintage 1950s Land Rover. During the drive, a sunset falconry demonstration takes place in the sand dunes, led by a professional falconer who explains the ancient training methods and the Bedouin use of falcons for hunting. After the drive, the group arrives at a torch-lit traditional Bedouin camp for an overnight stay. This camp reflects heritage Bedouin living with Arabic stone dwellings furnished with mattresses and bedding but no showers; running water and clean bathrooms are available. Evening activities at the camp include henna tattooing, camel riding, and live demonstrations of bread and Arabic coffee making. Dinner is a four-course meal served outdoors, accompanied by traditional Emirati music and drumming performances. The next morning, guests have a breakfast that includes dishes such as hand-cut salmon and Eggs Benedict. The experience ends with a return transfer to Dubai hotels between 8:30am and 9:30am, depending on traffic. Hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle are included throughout the tour.
