An exhilarating ride and a sample of authentic desert life...

Our guide to Dubai Desert Safari and Sunset Barbecue

A ‘must-do’ experience for anyone visiting in Dubai. Head into the desert for a thrilling and exhilarating experience.

You’ll be picked up in a modern, air-conditioned 4-wheel drive vehicle and taken on an exciting dune drive across the Arabian Desert in the hands of an expert driver. Race up against the giant sand dunes for approximately 30 minutes – lots of laughter and shrieks are guaranteed!

Head to the top of the largest sand dune and watch the full glory of a desert sunset and to click some Instagrammable pictures before heading to an exclusive traditional Bedouin campsite nestled deep in the desert.

Afterwards, head to the top of the largest sand dune and watch the full glory of a desert sunset before continuing to an exclusive Bedouin campsite nestled deep in the desert. Here a warm traditional Arabic welcome of dates and coffee awaits and there is the chance to ride a camel or try sand surfing as a delicious barbecue dinner is prepared on open fires.

If you wish, try traditional aromatic water pipe or Shisha or get a henna tattoo etched onto your hands or feet. Dinner will be served to you under the stars and includes shawarma and falafel sandwiches as starters and a BBQ buffet with side dishes, plus soft drinks, mineral water, coffee and tea.

The Tanoura dancing and belly dancing under the Arabian sky make for a magical experience under the stars.
