Evening Desert Safari Overview

The Evening Desert Safari is our signature experience designed for travellers who want a taste of desert adventure without spending the night. After pickup from your Dubai hotel, a short drive takes you to the dunes where certified drivers perform thrilling dune bashing as the sun begins to set. The evening continues at our desert camp with cultural performances, a live BBQ dinner, optional activities and the opportunity to relax under the stars.

What To Expect?

The experience blends adrenaline and relaxation. Expect a balanced itinerary that typically includes:

• Hotel pickup & transfer in an air-conditioned 4x4.
• Dune bashing (thrilling off-road driving across sand dunes) — optional for guests who prefer a milder ride.
• Sunset viewing on a high dune — ideal for photos.
• Camp activities including camel rides, henna painting, and Arabic coffee tasting.
• Evening entertainment such as tanoura or belly dance performances.
• Buffet BBQ dinner with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, served with soft drinks; tea and coffee served after.

Discover a Different Side of Dubai

While Dubai is known for skyscrapers and luxury malls, the desert offers a contrasting landscape — tranquil, vast and timeless. The Evening Desert Safari reveals Bedouin culture, desert wildlife, and a sky full of stars away from the city lights. It’s an opportunity to experience local traditions, taste authentic flavors, and see the city from a completely new perspective.
