Highlights

In the early evening, depart your Dubai hotel by air-conditioned 4 wheel drive vehicle. Your knowledgeable and experienced safari guide will point out landmarks of Dubai as you drive out to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. After approximately 45 minutes you will enter the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a unique reserve, funded by its visitors to conserve the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Arabian Desert.

Embark on an exciting dune drive and stop at the top of a sand dune to watch the sun setting over the dunes - an unmissable photo opportunity. After a short drive, arrive at our Bedouin-style camp where you are welcomed with Arabic coffee and dates. At the campsite, desert activities and a camp fire awaits. Try a variety of desert activities for the adventurous - enjoy a short ride on the ‘ship of the desert’, more commonly known as the camel, try sand-boarding (weather permitting) or take a picture with a falcon. Enjoy the tranquility of the desert as you relax on large carpets and cushions or enjoy henna hand-painting.

Dinner includes an Arabic style, three-course buffet dinner with unlimited beer, wine and soft-drinks. Dine as you watch a belly dancing performance. Enjoy the tranquility of the desert as we turn off the camp lights for a few minutes so that you can see the beauty of the stars in the night sky.

Your desert adventure ends with a drive back to Dubai and drop off to your hotel at approximately 11pm.

WHAT A EXPERIENCE!! - I can't even begin to put into words how great Shan Jaan was, from the hotel pick, everything in between to hotel drop off, Shan was so friendly, welcoming, entertaining, funny and very knowledgeable. Shan main goal was to ensure we had a great time and we were comfortable the whole way, He deserves a pay rise! It always the customer service and guides that make a trip like this WORTH IT and not boring. My Wife and I will be recommending Arabian adventures to everyone back home in Sydney because of the service we have received and how great Shan was! Until next time :)

Great way to spend the evening - Excellent family experience from the informative drive out to the reserve to the fun 4WD to the stunning sunset and the lovely BBQ and entertainment. Note that if you are a group of less than 6 you may be sharing a vehicle with others. Our driver and guide Ismail was lots of fun and helped us get some magical photo memories.

Review - The Desert Safari was one of the most memorable moments of our trip. Raj our tour guide and driver was the heart and soul of the experience. He eloquently showed his enthusiasm and expertise of the desert. Miryam made the entire process smooth by helping us book tickets and navigating us through all the activities we could take part in. Once getting to the camp, we were greeted with amazing foods and drinks which completed the trip. They both made the experience enticing, entertaining, and fun.
