Desert Safari Adventure
Dune-bash across golden sands, ride a camel and dine under the stars at a Bedouin camp.
About Desert Safari Adventure
A desert safari is the quintessential Dubai experience — a 4x4 charging over the dunes, a camel ride at golden hour, and a Bedouin-style camp with a BBQ buffet, henna, shisha and Tanoura dancing. It is the perfect counterpoint to the city’s glass towers and a must on any Dubai itinerary.
