Tour Overview

Experience Dubai’s Desert the Traditional Way

Most desert safaris include a quick camel ride that lasts only a few minutes. It’s enough for a photo, but not enough to really experience the desert.

This tour is different.

Our Desert Safari with Camel Ride Dubai includes a 40 to 60-minute guided camel trek, giving you the chance to explore the desert the way Bedouins once travelled across these dunes. It’s slower, quieter, and a completely different feeling from riding in a 4×4.

Your evening begins with hotel pickup before heading into Dubai’s famous desert for an exciting session of dune bashing and sandboarding. After that, you’ll spend around an hour enjoying a guided camel trek through the open desert, where there’s plenty of time to appreciate the scenery and capture some fantastic photos.

As the sun begins to set, you’ll arrive at a traditional desert camp to enjoy a BBQ buffet dinner, live cultural performances, henna painting, shisha, and warm Arabian hospitality.

If you’re searching for an evening desert safari with a long camel ride in Dubai, this experience brings together adventure, culture, and one of the desert’s oldest traditions.

Why Choose This Tour?

This experience is perfect if you want more than a standard desert safari.

You will be taken on a real camel safari instead of a short ride on the camel near the camp and then continue with the rest of your evening.

It is a favorite activity of couples as well as families, photographers, and travelers who want to have an authentic desert experience.

A Camel Trek, Not Just a Camel Ride

One of the biggest differences with this package is the camel experience itself.

Many evening desert safaris include only a short ride near the camp that’s mainly intended for photographs. Our tour includes a longer camel trekking session, allowing you to travel through the desert at a relaxed pace before arriving at camp.

It’s one of the closest experiences you’ll get to traditional desert travel while still enjoying the comfort of a modern guided tour.

Before You Go

A few things are worth knowing before your trip.

  • Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes.
  • Bring sunglasses if you’re travelling during warmer months.
  • A light jacket is useful during winter evenings.
  • Carry your camera or phone fully charged, you’ll want it during the camel trek and at sunset.
  • Listen to your camel guide before the ride begins. Camels stand up and sit down differently than most people expect.

Why Guests Choose This Experience

Some visitors come for the thrill of dune bashing. Others come to slow down and experience the desert in a more traditional way.

This tour gives you both.

You still enjoy the excitement of an evening desert safari, but the extended camel trek adds something many standard packages don’t offer, and it’s a chance to spend real time in the desert rather than simply passing through it.

If you’ve always imagined riding a camel across the dunes as the sun begins to set, this is the experience most likely to match that picture.
