Premium Desert Safari with Dune Drive, Camel Ride & BBQ Dinner

Highlights

- Sunset photo stop, sandboarding and camel ride
- Falconry, henna and traditional Arabic coffee welcome
- Full BBQ dinner (halal) with vegetarian options
- Tanoura dance and fire show — no animal performances
Overview
This is the Dubai evening everyone remembers. We collect you from your hotel mid-afternoon and drive 45 minutes east to the red dunes of Lahbab, where your driver deflates the tyres and the real fun begins: 30 minutes of dune bashing in a private Land Cruiser (gentle or wild — you choose). As the light softens we stop on a high ridge for sunset photos, sandboarding and a short camel ride.
The camp is a proper Bedouin-style majlis with cushions, carpets and a shisha corner, not a plastic tent city. You'll try Arabic coffee and dates, hold a falcon, get a henna design, and watch a Tanoura dancer and a fire show while a five-course BBQ dinner is served — grilled meats, fresh salads, hummus, Arabic bread and desserts, with vegetarian and halal options as standard. We're back at your hotel around 9:30 pm.

Dubai'ye ilk gidişimizdi ve çöl safarisi tam hayal ettiğimiz gibiydi. Sürücümüz kumullarda ne kadar 'vahşi' istediğimizi sordu, kamp sahiciydi, yemek harikaydı. Türkçe destek büyük rahatlıktı.Good to know

Transport · DubaiNol CardDubai's contactless transport card — one tap pays for the metro, tram, buses, water buses and public parking. Visitors want the Silver card; the Red ticket is for one-off trips.

Transport · DubaiAbraThe wooden water taxi that has crossed Dubai Creek for a century — five minutes from Bur Dubai to Deira for AED 1–2, and still the cheapest, most atmospheric ride in the city.
