About this experience
Embark on an unforgettable day-to-evening journey across the Dubai Desert. Experience the thrill of driving through red sand dunes and feel the hospitality of a Bedouin desert camp, where you can partake in interactive cultural activities and feast on a delicious BBQ buffet.
Drive out of the bustling city and into the peaceful desert aboard a 4x4/ Land Cruiser. When you arrive, enjoy a relaxing rest stop and go on an optional quad bike ride while other convoys catch up.
Continue to the Camp and be welcomed with Arabic coffee, sweets, and dates. Say hello to the camp’s resident camels and, if you’d like, go on a camel ride across the sand.
During your time at the camp, you can smoke Shisha, do Henna painting, and meet the resident falcon expert and his loyal bird.
The buffet barbecue begins at sunset. While you eat, be entertained by traditional dances performed in the center stage. Finish your dinner on a high
note with a tasting of various local desserts.
