Desert Safari

This is a must-do for anyone who comes to Dubai. This off-road arabian adventure takes you from the bustle of Dubai city to the desert of golden sand dunes. You'll travel to the desert from your pick-up point in a luxury 4WD (Toyota Land Cruiser) and reach there in around 45 minutes.

Amazing Sand Dunes!!

Next, the Arabian roller coaster ride known as dune bashing (desert driving) will begin, where you will shriek and laugh with excitement as the car goes up and down the dunes. Our safari was so extreme that we nearly flipped over!!! Phew!!

As the sun descends into the horizon, they’ll stop to allow you to take sunset photographs, while standing on top of the fading desert dunes. They will head to the campsite where a convoy of camels awaits your arrival for short camel rides.

After returning, you can purchase some souvenirs before relaxing on a majlis (low cushions) in traditional Bedouin tents. You'll enjoy an Arabian BBQ (barbeque/barbecue) buffet dinner beside a blazing bonfire with traditional cups of coffee and dates, underneath the pitch-black night sky. You can also get more dressed for the occasion by dressing in traditional Bedouin male or female garments, and also have Henna (temporary tatoo) decorate your hands, legs and feet and smoke flavored sheesha (hubbly-bubbly/water pipe).

Before you head back to Dubai, you will be entertained by the dancing of a belly dancer to traditional Arabic music, and you are welcome to join along.

Try this and you'll definitely enjoy!!
