Summary

Depart your Dubai hotel by 4WD Range Rover. Arrive at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the UAE’s first national park and a haven for wildlife. With a professional driver-guide at the wheel, set off in a Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV for a wildlife safari. As you travel through the dunes, hear about the reserve's ecosystem and 100 or so animal species, some of them endangered. Watch for wildlife through powerful binoculars, perhaps seeing the rare Arabian oryx, Ethiopian hedgehog, or Gordon’s wildcat, together with gazelle and desert monitors. Stop to see indigenous plants, and learn how they’re used for medicinal purposes by local Bedouin. Following your drive, continue to the luxurious Al Maha Desert Resort in the dunes. Here, refuel with refreshments, such as pastries paired with tea, coffee, or fruit juice. Your experience ends with a minivan drop-off at your Dubai hotel.

About operator:

As the only ecotourism Desert Safari company in Dubai, our mission is to protect the cultural heritage and natural environment of Dubai. We have three collections of Desert Safaris which authentically showcase a different time period in Dubai’s history. The Bedouin Collection (pre-1920’s) is the most traditional. Retrace the footsteps of Bedouin tribes and immerse yourself in a first-hand experience of a day in the life of a Bedouin living in the desert. With no frills or fuss, this is the most traditional and hands-on experience of Dubai’s cultural roots. The Heritage Collection (1950’s) is a journey back to the turning point in Dubai’s history to the time when Land Rovers were first introduced to the desert. These Desert Safaris offer an authentic encounter with Dubai’s cultural heritage with the addition of a few modern comforts. The Platinum Collection (modern day) is the most luxurious. Embrace modern day times and experience the magic of the desert with a sophisticated touch.
