Dubai Desert Safaris
When many people dream of the Arabian Desert, they dream of exotic belly dancers, camel riding and, more recently, tearing through the dunes in a 4x4. All of these dreams can come true with the Dubai desert safaris.
If you can spare two days to the safari, then the 1001 Arabian Stars Private Safari is a great option. Starting in the early afternoon, you are taken through the dunes in a 4x4 to a camel farm. After riding the camels, you will pitch a tent in the desert and watch the sun set across the sand. As night falls, the camp becomes alive with henna tattoo painting, belly dancing, delicious barbeques and sheesha smoking (an Arab tradition of smoking a water pipe). This is a great way to experience how life was once like for the Arab settlers in the Dubai desert, long before the tall skyscrapers went up in the city. After a light breakfast the next morning, you will be returned to your hotel.
If you’re tight for time or don’t fancy sleeping in the desert, then
there are several one day tours available too, in which you drive
towards the Hatta village, which has existed since the 16th century. On
the way there you will see varied desert terrain, and undulating
mountain passes. The Hatta village lies on dry river beds, which wind up
the mountain towards a glorious oasis, where you can cool off in the
turquoise rock pools. Make the most of your tour guide, whilst sitting
down to a picnic in the shade, and learn all about the Hatta Heritage
village.
