The setup is intimate and authentic, with mood lighting and a three-course Arabic BBQ dinner that promises to tantalize your taste buds.

The reviews speak for themselves:

Excellent private tour experience - We did the safari tour and dinner on December 25, 2024. Absolutely excellent and would recommend if you’re looking for a fully private experience to enjoy with family/friends. This is totally the opposite of the big company tours that are crowded and loud - you can enjoy the desert in full peace and have it all to yourself. Our drivers Nisham and Chami arrived 10 mins early at our hotel and we promptly started the drive out to the desert - stopping first at a Bedouin village, gazelle farm, camel riding followed by dune bashing and sunset in the desert before sitting down for the actual dinner. Nisham was super kind and hospitable telling us stories about the local culture and nature and was just a blast to spend the day with. The dinner set up was super authentic with mood lighting and a fantastic meat selection with some sides. Ultra high quality through and through - worth every penny. (Reviewed at: 2024-12-25)

The gentle breeze and moderate humidity make the evening comfortable, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the moment.
