Dubai Desert Safari: Camel Ride, Sandboarding, BBQ & Soft Drinks

Itinerary

Are you ready to leave the buzzing city behind and spend an action-packed afternoon in the magical desert? Then this Evening Desert Safari is your answer.

As your knowledgeable and equally amusing guide picks you up from your hotel, you're in for the ultimate desert adventure. Feel the thrills as your skilled driver climbs over steep dunes during an exhilarating dune drive, and spot local wildlife on your fun-filled ride. Catch a mesmerising sunset in a picturesque setting as you feel one with the nature.

Your journey continues to our beautiful Bedouin-style campsite where you can go for a short camel ride and try out sandboarding. Before sitting down for dinner, explore the boutiques and souvenir shops and get a Henna tattoo to help make the memories last longer.

Once you've settled in for a 3-course buffet-style dinner along with unlimited soft drinks, it's time for some spectacular entertainment. Be awed as the belly dancer (except during Ramadan and religious holidays), tanoura dancer and fire dancer take the stage one by one.

Your one-of-a-kind adventure concludes with a drive back to your hotel.
