What is Desert Safari Dubai?

Desert is the heart of Dubai. Even after the rise of soaring skyscrapers and magnificent downtowns, the whimsical sands of Dubai lure curious minds to it. The vast and mostly unexplored portion of Dubai presents numerous surprises to visitors. No visit to Dubai is complete without experiencing the charm of the desert. The contrast of the mysterious and silent desert against the sprawling cityscape is something worth witnessing. There is something for everyone on a fantastic desert safari trip. The brave souls will enjoy the dune bashing over the red dunes of the Lehbab. Explorers will find the desert camp entertaining and nostalgic, and the foodies can relish the luscious BBQ dinner with the option of Veg and Non-Veg dishes..

The Premium Desert Safari Dubai Experience

For premium safari, the trip begins with the driver picking you up from your location. The pickup will be on a well-maintained and 4x4 Land Cruiser with all the safety features. Even though the pickup timing depends on your site, it will be between 3:30 and 4:00 in the evening. The professional and polite English-speaking safari driver will also double as your tour guide. He will explain to you about the humble beginnings of Dubai from a small fishing village alongside Creek and life in the desert.

Lehbab is a 40-minute drive away from the Dubai city. There will be a 15-minute break in between for refreshments. During this break, the driver prepares the vehicle to deal with the loose sand. The car tires are nearly flattened by letting most of the air out. On deserts, flat tires are good. We stop for pictures once we enter the desert. You can capture the beauty of the desert against the golden hues of the setting sun. In the meantime, other cars join in.

All the SUVs form a convoy and move forward to the most thrilling part of the adventurous dune bashing. Dune bashing is, in fact, a roller coaster ride over the dunes. The Land Cruisers climb up and drop down over the red dunes sending chills down your spine. The red dunes of Lehbab desert are the best when it comes to dune bashing. It lasts for 30 minutes, with another 15 minutes break for pictures near the quaint desert rocks towering towards the sky.

Have you tried Sandboarding ever? It is the desert version of snow skiing. But this time, instead of snow slopes, there are dunes. We stop near the tallest of the dunes to try out Sandboarding. Everyone can try it because sand is the most forgiving to falls. Strap your feet onto the board and slide down to the bottom.

Next comes the desert camp. You modeled like a traditional desert settlement of olden day Bedouins. The campsite brings back the vibes of their nomadic lifestyles in your minds. You will receive a warm greeting with welcome drinks and Arabic coffee as you arrive. Near the camp, you can also ride on top of the camel. Think about the Arabs who crossed the vast and impossible desert with only their feet and these magnificent creatures to aid. No wonder why the camel is called the ship of the desert. Then you can pose for a picture with a falcon, the national bird, and symbol of the United Arab Emirates. It is fantastic to see these beautiful birds up close.

Get out there and have fun. Dress up in traditional Emirati attire and pose for some Instagram-worthy shots. Get your hands adorned with beautiful henna tattoos. Try out the various flavors of Hubble Bubble Sheesha at the Sheesha corner.

The inside of the camp comes to life after the sun goes below the horizon. As the night falls, the campsite lights up, and the starters are served. Then the mouth-watering BBQ gourmet buffet dinner follows. The dinner buffet has more than enough variety to satiate the taste buds of both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. To make the dinner even more eventful, live performances of traditional folk dances like a belly dance show, Tanura show, and fire show add energy to the whole venue. Then the Dubai desert safari experience comes to an end on a happy note. After you finish your dinner and enjoy the desert air, the drivers will prepare the car for your return journey.

Budget Desert Safari

Sometimes your budget does not allow a premium safari. In that case, you can opt for this affordable safari package. In this, the pickup will be on a bus shared by other guests from a specific location. From the shuttle point near Al Awir desert, the driver will take you to the desert camp on a 4x4. Along the way, there will be a small dune bashing ride, and sunset photo stops. Once you reach the desert camp, you can go for the camel ride, shoot a picture with the falcon, and enjoy the camp's offerings, including the BBQ dinner and live entertainment.

Self-Drive Desert Safari

Eating out at restaurants often gets too dull. Why go for a usual restaurant dinner when you can enjoy outdoor dining against the desert backdrop. You can make dinner more exciting, and there are live folk performances. Self-drive safari gives you the freedom to come to the shuttle point in the Al Awir desert. From there, the experienced safari driver will take you on 4x4 Land Cruiser for a dune bashing. Then you go to experience the camp, dance shows and savor the delicious dinner.
