The most awarded Desert Safari in Dubai.

Be a part of history and experience the desert like never before.

Take in a magnificent Arabian sunset while watching a spectacular falconry performance.

The most awarded Desert Safari in Dubai.

Customize your tour by choosing how you want to explore the desert for your 60-minute safari. The Vintage Land Rover ensures a throwback to when the first vehicles were introduced to the UAE in the 1950s, feel the wind in your hair and take irreplaceable pictures in these classic cars. Feel like a true Bedouin from the past when choosing to traverse the desert on a camel safari. The so- called “ships of the desert” have been an integral part of the UAE’s heritage. Taking on the desert in a classic Land Rover Defender feels like something from a movie!

Afterwards, arrive at an authentic Bedouin camp, gently lit with traditional lamps and nestled inside a private desert retreat. Discover the rich culture and traditions of Dubai’s heritage with live demonstrations of Arabic coffee and bread making, henna painting, camel rides and traditional performances.

Feast on a 4-course dinner under the stars, afterwards relax in our Arabic Majilis area and try some shisha (hubbly bubbly) if you desire.

History comes to life in this once-in-a- lifetime Desert Safari Experience in Dubai!
