Dubai Desert Safari and Dhow Cruise Combo Package

You arrive at the desert early in the evening. A professional driver will arrive at your hotel late in the afternoon (around 3 PM) to pick you up. The drive from the city to the desert takes around 45 minutes. Once you reach the outskirts of the desert, you can step out of the vehicle and stretch.

The evening desert safari in Dubai begins with dune bashing. The pressures of the tires of the 4x4 vehicle are eased out, so that it becomes easier to maneuver the vehicle on the sand dunes. Once you have secured the seatbelt, the driver starts the engine and your exciting ride begins. Expect a lot of sharp and tumultuous turns and a lot of sand dust all around you. But dune bashing is as thrilling as a rollercoaster, and something you should not miss.

The dune bashing session ends when you arrive at the desert camp. Here, you will enjoy more exciting activities. You can ride a camel, and experience how the Bedouins traveled in the desert in the past. Quad biking rides are also available here. You can also learn to find your balance as you try to ski down the sand dunes while sandboarding.

The desert safari is also your chance to experience the culture and heritage of the Bedouins first-hand. You can try out the traditional outfits of the Arabs and get your photos clicked. They would make great memories of your Dubai holiday and desert safari trip. A henna artist would make a beautiful henna design on your palms or maybe even your arms. The desert safari is also a great place to enjoy flavored Shisha.

One of the most spectacular moments of your desert safari would be the sunset you get to watch here. As the sun sets on the horizon, the entire area is flooded with beautiful colors. The setting sun adds to the beauty of the desert. This golden hour is also perfect for capturing photos of the marvelous desert landscape.

After sunset, you get to watch the performances and shows lined up for your entertainment. From the graceful movements of the belly dancer to the rhythmic twirling of the Tanura dancer, every performance will awe you. Apart from these, you will also get to watch a fire show, a Khalji show, Dabka and Drummers Show, and a Zilawi Dance as well.

Dinner in the Dubai desert begins with BBQ starters. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are available. The main course includes dishes like Arabic bread, curries, pilaf, pasta, salads, and more. At the end of the meal, you will get to enjoy desserts like kunafa and fresh fruits.

Once you are done with dinner, it is time to head back home. You will be dropped back to your hotel/residence in the same vehicle that took you to the desert.
