Useful Information
Dubai Desert Safari Camel Ride
Your first stop is a traditional camel farm, where you’ll learn how camels both big and small live in the desert. Then go for a camel ride! The farmers will teach you the locals' techniques for easily getting on the camel.
Back in your 4x4, continue the drive across the Dubai desert and get ready for your next adrenaline-rushing experience: sandboarding! Show off your balancing skills as you master the art of 'surfing on sand,' and race your friends and family down the sand dunes.
With your private guide, you’ll finally make your way to your campsite, where your exciting evening awaits. Start with receiving a henna tattoo design on your hands or feet, and then watch a beautiful performance of the traditional folk dance Tanoura.
Next, feast on a delicious barbecue dinner as the beautiful sun sets over the Dubai desert. After dinner, enjoy a live belly-dancing performance around the campfire while you smoke a shisha (an Arabic water pipe) if you wish.
To finish this exhilarating day, relax under a canopy of twinkling stars, as if you’re living One Thousand and One Nights!
Upgrade
Upgrade to enjoy a 30- or 60-minute quad-biking experience. After a short safety briefing, put on your provided safety gear, hop on the quad bike and follow your guide through the sand dunes!
Please note: The belly dancer does not perform during Ramadan (approximately mid-September to mid-October).
