What to expect

Let us welcome you to the Arabian Desert — an enthralling, arid wilderness overflowing with a sea of sand stretching as far as the eye can see. This extreme environment attracts visitors from all over the world who are looking for an unforgettable exotic experience. Take your Dubai adventure to the next level with this one-of-a-kind desert safari with a local driver, during which you’ll enjoy a freshly-prepared barbeque dinner at a traditional Arabic camp.

Setting off from Dubai in the afternoon, you'll travel by vehicle across the golden desert dunes and take in unforgettable views as the sun falls upon the endless, flat horizon. Your local safari driver will accompany you the entire ride to ensure you get the most out of your journey. One of our drivers, Sami, says, “Even though I’ve worked in the UAE as a safari driver for more than 12 years and am in the desert almost daily, I still notice something special about the landscape each time that makes it feel truly like home for me.”

While on your safari tour, you’ll be treated to a tasty barbeque dinner cooked by the locals and served in a torch-lit atmosphere. You can opt for a VIP option which includes personalized table service. You’ll also be given the option to get henna tattoos as you comfortably relax in a Bedu tent, watch Tanoura dancing, enjoy shisha, or go on a camel ride. When describing the experience, Sami comments, “The tranquility of the desert, especially within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve where our camp is situated, really allows you to feel that you are at one with nature.”
