Dune Bashing in the Desert

Detailed itinerary

A few decades ago, Dubai was a land of strong winds carrying the desert soil over and about the vast cityscape. It used to be a land of sparsely scattered skyscrapers. Presently, however, it is a widely populated metropolitan, which houses post-modern tall buildings, and within the alleys, retains the charm of the Old Dubai Town. It is the perfect amalgamation of tradition and modernism.
Desert safari is an extremely popular tourist attraction in the UAE. Dune Bashing is not the only activity you will enjoy in our Desert Safari. While in the camp, you can ride a camel, see some sand art, and get a traditional henna tattoo. Finally, complete the evening feasting on a starlit Arabic BBQ dinner while watching sequined belling dancing, hypnotic tanoura dancer spinning in time to traditional Gulf music and a mesmerizing fire show. Also enjoy smoking shisha while listening to traditional Gulf music.
A must for everyone who is visiting UAE. This is one safari you can’t do back home.
