Tour Overview

If you only take one desert tour in Dubai, make it this classic Evening Desert Safari! We collect you from your hotel in an air-conditioned 4x4 Land Cruiser and drive you into the Arabian desert as the sun begins its descent. Your journey starts with a heart-pumping dune bashing ride over high sand dunes. As the sun sets, we stop on a high dune where you can try sandboarding and snap amazing golden-hour photos. As twilight falls, we welcome you into a lively Bedouin-style desert camp. Hop on a camel for a ride, get a delicate henna design on your hand, try on traditional Arabic robes, and sip hot Arabic Gahwa coffee. To end the evening, help yourself to a rich BBQ buffet dinner loaded with grilled meats, warm breads, and delicious vegetarian dishes. While you dine, watch three live shows: the spinning Tanoura dance, an elegant belly dance, and an exciting fire-twirling finale.
