Quick Highlights
Experience the Dubai Desert After Everyone Else Has Left
If a quick evening trip feels too rushed, then our Overnight Desert Safari Dubai lets you truly slow down and connect with the nature. Your adventure begins in the afternoon where you enjoy the dune bashing, sandboarding, camel rides, and take stunning sunset photos. Later we head to our traditional Bedouin camp.
After the BBQ dinner and live shows of belly dance, tanoura and fire show, the evening crowds leave, and a deep stillness settles over the dunes. You’ll spend the night under the sky in comfortable camping tents. In the morning, you wake up early to catch a breathtaking sunrise over the sand, followed by a fresh, local breakfast.
This overnight stay is perfect for couples and families who want to escape the usual tourist rush and experience the peaceful side of Dubai.
