About this activity
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.
