Desert Safari Dubai

What is Dubai Desert Safari?

Desert safari is a unique adventure drive that primarily involves dune bashing on a robust vehicle. Desert is full of dunes of varying heights, and these dunes are constantly shifting; thus, new dunes are formed every minute. Although driving a vehicle on sand is very challenging, powerful vehicles like 4 X 4 Land Cruisers are built to negotiate these treacherous dunes. Dubai Desert Safari includes many side activities in the desert and at the Bedouin campsite. These activities include sandboarding, visiting a local camel farm, and sunset viewing in the desert. You will taste typical Arabic hospitality at the desert campsite, including food, local hubbly bubbly (Sheesha smoking), Belly dancing, and Tanura dancing.

The Experience of Dubai Desert Safari

The high-octane Desert Safari Dubai starts when our Toyota Land Cruiser – the king of Desert, arrives at your doorstep to pick you up from your already specified location at late noon. It takes approximately 45 minutes to reach the Safari meeting point, where all safari vehicles meet and prepare for the roller coaster ride. During this time, you will have enough time to soak in the desert, stroll around, and take salifies against the unique backdrop of golden color sand and our convoy of Land Cruisers. You may also indulge in your fun activities. Once the convoy is ready, your guide shall call you back to your vehicle and set you well on your seats for the next 45 minutes of dune bashing. This is where the highly skilled driver takes the powerful vehicle up and down the dunes and sometimes sideways, making the red sand splash against your car. Dune bashing is one drive with many heart-stopping moments. The dune bashing and desert drive will have plenty of selfie moments, including atop the highest dune with the setting sun as the backdrop, where you will get a fantastic view of the desert. After this, the safari continues to the camel farm. Finally, the convoy reached our Bedouin-inspired heritage campsite. Just outside the camp, you may seek more adventure with dune sandboarding, enjoy a camel ride, or test your driving skills on any of the monster quadbikes.
Once you get to the camp, Our staff is ready with cooling welcome drinks, Arabic coffee called “Geh,””, and tasty Arabic dates upon reaching the campsite. There is also a wide variety of snacks that you may relish. After relaxing briefly, you will have different entertainment options, including chilling in a traditional sheesha corner for the lovers of Hubbly Bubbly, getting a henna tattoo by an expert local women artisans, or simply taking a selfie with a traditional Arabic dress; “Kandura” for men and “Abaya” for Women. The camp comes alive with thumping Arabic beats and Belly Dancing, famous worldwide as the sunsets. Male artists perform an Arabic Tanura Dance and Fire Show. Of course, our staff would prepare the dinner buffet and live barbeque counter while the entertainment is on. The dinner is under the open sky, and during the chilled winter, you can enjoy the dinner with a bonfire. The safari ends when you have finished your entire course of BBQ dinner. It is time to walk back to your waiting vehicle and guide, who will take you back to your destination after a very exhaustive but memorable day in the sun and sand.

Desert Safari Trip Dos and Don’ts

• Always wear the seat belt while in the vehicle, and hold the railing provided during the desert dune bashing.
• Be light and carry as little luggage as possible during the desert safari.
• Do not throw litter carelessly, as littering is a punishable offense in Dubai.
• Practice any applicable health & safety-related protocols like wearing a mask, social distancing, and sanitization – our safari guide will inform you of these protocols before the start of the trip.
