Desert Safari
Take a trip into the Dubai desert and prepare for an action-packed adventure as you go on safari across huge sand dunes and past beautiful oases. Packed full of activities, from adrenaline sports to traditional dancing, a desert safari is an unforgettable way to see the beautiful Middle Eastern landscapes around the city.
Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel before taking you into the desert where you’ll try your hand at sports including quad biking, sandboarding and camel riding. Then prepare for the highlight of your safari as you go dune bashing, which is where you drive at high speeds up and down sand dunes in a 4×4 vehicle, leaving you feeling alive and exhilarated.
If you opt for an overnight trip, you’ll be taken to a desert campsite where you’ll watch the incredible sunset and enjoy a delicious Arabic dinner under the stars. Sat around the campfire, you’ll get to experience a traditional belly dancing show, henna painting and shisha. You may even have the chance to dress up in traditional costumes, so don’t forget your camera. After a fun-filled evening you’ll settle down to sleep in your tent, with plenty of blankets to keep you warm during the cool desert night.
In the morning, wake up to an incredible sunrise over the sand dunes before getting a caffeine hit from your strong Arabic coffee. After enjoying a tasty breakfast, your safari comes to a close as your tour guide takes you back to your hotel.
