Desert Safari trip is a great way to explore the culture and history of Dubai or UAE before it became the modern metropolis it is now. You will get to spend a few hours in a tent that resembles the ones used by the Bedouins, the nomadic people of the desert.

The adventure begins when our vehicle picks you up from your hotel or residence and takes you to the edge of the desert. There, you will board a 4 X 4 car and embark on a thrilling ride over the sand dunes. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you slide and bounce on the shifting sands.

When you reach the desert camp, you will have many activities to enjoy. You can ride a camel, try a flavored shisha, sip the traditional Arabic coffee, and watch the mesmerizing belly dance and Tanura dance. Don’t forget to capture the stunning views of the desert with your camera, especially at sunset. The sight of the sun dipping behind the sand dunes will enchant you.

You can also experience the local culture by wearing traditional costumes, getting a henna tattoo, and savoring a tasty buffet dinner. After the dinner, we will take you back to your accommodation.
