Summary

A private air-conditioned minivan picks you up from your central Dubai hotel. From there, venture into the desert. En route, learn about the desert ecosystem and the ongoing efforts to protect its flora and fauna. Then, arrive at a desert camp owned by Dubai’s royal family; it's located inside the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a national park. Here, climb into a private vintage 1950s Land Rover with a trained desert driver and take a wildlife safari in the twilit dunes. Look for Arabian oryx, gazelles, hares, lizards, and other species, and use the headlight beams and night-vision binoculars to detect any movement. Afterward, enjoy a 2-course dinner at the torchlit camp and an optional shisha (Arabic water pipe). Then, with an astronomer-guide, scan the starry skies to see and learn about constellations. Your tour finishes with a hotel drop-off.

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.
