Overview
Leave the skyscrapers in the rear-view mirror as our story-telling guide picks you up from your hotel to take you on an incredible adventure in the heart of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR). As you reach the mesmerising sand dunes, you're in for an exhilarating dune drive in your 4-wheel drive vehicle, securely equipped with seat belts and roll cages. Your drive will take you to the top of a dune just in time for a picturesque sunset.
Once the evening falls, you'll be taken to the magical Bedouin-style campsite where the fun continues with a short camel ride and a sandboarding experience. Upon arrival, you'll receive a traditional Arab welcome with Arabic coffee and delicious local dates. Explore the beautiful campsite complete with a photo booth, souvenir shop and falcon display.
When it's time for dinner, sit back and enjoy a delicious three-course barbeque buffet along with your selected beverage package. As you dig in, local performers will take the stage one by one, bringing you on an awe-inspiring journey of the local culture. Cheer along with the belly dancer, admire the incredible Tanoura dancer and be mesmerised by the skills of the fire dancer.
Before heading back to the city with your guide, give henna art a go to make sure the memories last a little longer.
