Tour Overview

Escape the busy city and sleep under a sky full of desert stars! The Overnight Desert Safari gives you everything included in our evening safari, plus the unforgettable experience of spending the night in the quiet, peaceful desert. Your trip begins in the afternoon with thrilling 4x4 dune bashing, sandboarding, camel rides, and a sunset photo stop. At the desert camp, enjoy an international BBQ dinner while watching live belly dancing, a Tanoura show, and a fire dance performance. When the day tourists head home around 09:30 PM, the camp becomes completely calm and quiet. Sit around a warm campfire, sip tea or coffee, and gaze up at thousands of stars in the clear desert sky. You will sleep inside a clean, cozy Bedouin-style tent equipped with a mattress, clean pillows, fresh sheets, and warm blankets. In the morning, wake up to a stunning desert sunrise and enjoy a hot breakfast with coffee and tea before your driver takes you back to your hotel.
