About this experience

Just For You Private Desert BBQ Dinner is a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty in the UAE. Your driver will collect you from your hotel or residents and drive out of the busy city towards the stunning desert.

After a short stop to deflate the tyres the thrilling dune drive will begin. This is amazing and your driver will show you how the vehicles can perform across the dunes. You will enjoy a few photo stops before finding the perfect spot for you and your friends or family to stop for dinner.

As the sun is setting you will take in the beautiful view of rolling dunes and bright open dusk sky while sipping a refreshing drink and watching the setting sun. The BBQ dinner will be at the heart of your sun set stop and the peace and tranquility will all around you.

The evening will come to a close after you have finished eating your dinner and your driver will return you to your hotel or residence with happy memories in the UAE desert.
