Dubai Desert Safari

Dubai Desert Safari

The desert safari is the most memorable of my experiences in Dubai. Anyone that visits Dubai and doesn’t go for this tour has not seen Dubai.

The desert dunes ride is a 4 to 5 hour ride into the desert and after the ride is finished you will enjoy a superb fun-filled dinner in the middle of the desert with true peace of mind and away from everything else in the world. Belly dancing and smoking the hubbly comes after dinner, which is wonderful. I’ve included pics, so please have a look. I suggest you take a good camera and video camera to take pictures of this tour. For those that love drinking, note that alcohol and soft drinks are available at no extra cost. So make the best of it. The food is also great after the dunes ride. Just a tip and some safety, people with back problems should not try and do this safari, and don’t eat before going on this tour of this desert.

Sundowner Dune dinner/Desert Safari

  • June 24, 2002
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Zeta from London, United Kingdom
The "Sundowner Dune Dinner" is an experience one will not forget! It's a definite must when visiting Dubai and can be enjoyed with friends and family. The desert safari can be booked through a number of tours companies, 'Arabian Adventures' is one of many companies who specialise in these trips. This trip starts in the afternoon, your tour guide will pick you up in a 4WD and will proceed to the desert where you will get plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the desert. Afterwhich you start the exhilirating ride of the 4WD rolling up and down the dunes. In between you stop at a camel farm then proceeding further into the desert you stop to see the sun set down into the dunes. A totally breathtaking view, to enjoy it even better try and climb up one of the dunes and enjoy the spectacle. From there your guide will take you to a desert campsite set up for an evening of BBQ and entertainment. You can choose to relax or go for a camel ride, have henna put on by a local lady or simply relax with a drink on traditional Arab style seating. A buffet style BBQ is set up with a variety of delights! Whilst enjoying your meal you will be entertained by a group of male Arab dancers followed by a belly dancer who will surely get you up on your feet! If you fancy you can try a "sheesha" (also known a hubbly bubbly) which is set up for you to try. A sheesha, a smoking implement packed with either apple or liqorice flavoured tabacco. A nice way to end a memorable evening with a cup of arabic coffee (qahwa). Afterwhich your guide will proceed the return journey back to your hotel. All 4WD travel in a convoy. The nighttime driving through the desert is just something else! A great way to end a trip in Dubai!
