Detailed itinerary

Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or selected location. Sit back and enjoy a picturesque 45-minute drive to the Dubai desert, where you'll arrive at the starting point. Take some time to unwind and make use of the restroom facilities. While the 4x4 vehicles are being prepped for the off-road adventure, you have the option to enjoy a short Quad Bike ride.

After a brief rest, get ready for an exciting adventure! Begin with an exhilarating session of desert dune bashing. Following 40-45 minutes of thrilling rides across the red dunes, try sandboarding as you glide down the slopes. We’ll capture these unforgettable moments for you. Next, enjoy a serene camel ride in the heart of the Red Dunes desert. Finally, unwind in air-conditioned comfort with refreshments, including soft drinks, water, Arabic tea, or coffee paired with dates, before being dropped off at your hotel in Dubai.

Its campsite’s live entertainment combines culture, dance, and music. One of the most well-known dance genres in the world, belly dance, follows the Khaleeji dance by local Bedouin dancers in the entertainment performance. The belly dance follows the Tanura dance, which only male artists perform. The showstopper of the best safari tour is a fantastic fire show. All the performers are jaw-dropping and make you relaxed. Due to the liberal policies of the Dubai government, you get to see such beautiful dances so openly. The desert campsite transforms into a performance arena of musicals to bring Arabic heritage entertainment to you.
