Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Dubai-Al Ain Road - Exit 50, 118887 United Arab Emirates

After about an hour, arrive at the camp and swap your minivan for your private safari vehicle: a vintage 1950s Land Rover. Then, with your private guide at the wheel, head into the surrounding desert in search of nocturnal wildlife.
With your torches illuminating the way, roam the desert as your guide tells you about the animals that become active in the cool temperatures and cover of darkness. Drink in the deep silence and cool desert air, both refreshing contrasts to the heat and bustle of Dubai. Keep a close watch on the headlight beams and use the night-vision binoculars provided to detect movements and zoom in on any animals. Even daylight creatures often emerge in the evening to drink, feed and play - keep your eyes peeled!


Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Dubai-Al Ain Road - Exit 50, 118887 United Arab Emirates

This tour was fabulous! From the timely pick up from the hotel to the return Jaco was an absolute professional. His knowledge and passion for the country is evident from the information and commentary throughout the tour. The drive in the vintage land drovers was brilliant! and the desert walk was so interesting, we saw gazelles, gerbils, geckos - the heritage meal we followed it with was delicious. It culminated with the most interesting astronomy talk from Eddie and we learnt things about our planet we never knew! I whole heartedly recommend the tour and especially Jaco - keep up the good work!

We chose this tour because we wanted an experience that connected us with the desert in an environmentally sensitive way (i.e. no dune bashing!) and offered a culturally authentic experience (i.e. no belly dancing). Platinum Heritage definitely delivered and we were very happy with the tour itself as well as Jay our guide and all the other crew involved in front of or behind the scenes. The tour involves driving from Dubai in an air-conditioned pickup, then into the desert in an open top jeep before getting out with torches and ultra violet lights to spot desert creatures. We saw quite a few - gazelles, oryxs and a gerbil in terms of mammals and a baby scorpion (which fluroesced bright green in the UV light), dung beetles and spiders as well. It's a natural environment so there's no guarantee as to what you will see. Even if we saw nothing the night walk would still have been enjoyable in itself. From there we drove to the camp for a falconry display, but with a desert owl instead of a falcon. The falconer, Cornelius, let us put on his leather gauntlet so Yoda the owl could land on our arm and take food. It was such an amazing and memorable experience. We had a tasty dinner after that - lots of food - far more than we could eat. Then it was time for the astronomy talk. Even though nature wasn't very obliging and the sky was rather overcast and the moon was full, Eddy the astronomer did an excellent job of giving an informative and interesting talk nevertheless. We learned lots. All in all it was a great tour and our group of three all really enjoyed it. Do be aware that it finishes just after midnight then there's an hour's drive back to Dubai. So take this into account if you have an early start the next day.

The whole experience from pick up to drop off was 5 star. From booking on the internet we had excellent communications giving us confidence in the booking. All the activities - star gazing, safari , owl experience, meal - were led by friendly and welcoming guides, who were flexible on accommodating our requests. Food was top notch. A very enjoyable evening and big thank you - especially to Amir, Rammel, Michael and Eddy who made the evening so memorable .
