Want to experience Dubai’s sandy side? If so, hit the dunes on a desert safari, a unique and popular leisure outing in the emirate. Try these activities on your escapade.
Get up ahead of the sun to watch it rise in all its glory over a soft and undulating canopy of sand. On the morning safari, you can also enjoy local thrills like quad biking, sandboarding and camel riding.
Drive deep into the wilderness with Desert Safari Dubai to Lahbab. Here, you’ll witness the emirate’s tallest dune – the Big Red – named after its picturesque colour. This spot offers a photo opportunity like no other!
Once you’re whisked away on an evening safari, you can get a taste of Bedouin living with a cup of ‘gahwa’ (Arabic coffee), a henna art session and many festive performances. Save room for more, because a delicious Arabian-style feast amid the dunes awaits.
Immerse yourself in an overnight desert safari experience. Enjoy bonfires under a blanket of stars and luxurious campsite amenities as you soak up the vast expanse of the surrounding nature. In the morning, tuck into a delicious breakfast and take in the golden sandscape on a hot air balloon ride, if you please.
