In the early evening, leave your Dubai hotel in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle. Your expert safari guide will highlight Dubai’s landmarks and share extensive knowledge about the desert, its history, and significance as you head to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. After about 45 minutes, you’ll arrive at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a unique area funded by visitors to preserve the Arabian Desert’s natural beauty and biodiversity.

Following a smooth drive through the desert, you’ll pause atop a sand dune to watch the sunset over the dunes, offering a perfect photo opportunity. Next, a short drive will take you to our Bedouin-style camp, where desert activities and a campfire await. Adventurous guests can try riding a camel, known as the ‘ship of the desert,’ and sand-boarding. Then, unwind on large carpets and cushions inside our tents and enjoy henna hand-painting. You’ll savor a three-course Arabic buffet with unlimited soft drinks while watching a belly dancing performance. Experience the desert’s tranquility as we turn off the camp lights for a few minutes to reveal the stunning night sky.

Your adventure concludes with a return drive to Dubai, arriving back at your hotel by 11pm.
