Desert Rollercoaster with Hassan! Hassan was an absolute legend behind the wheel! His dune driving was like a desert rollercoaster — fast, fun, and totally safe. We were laughing, cheering, and hanging on for dear life (in the best way)! If you want a wild ride and a great time, ask for Hassan. 100% recommended!

Morning vs. evening vs. overnight safari

  • Morning: Budget-friendly escapes with gentle camel rides, sun-kissed breakfasts, and whispers of Bedouin life. Fewer thrills, but serenity and ancient wisdom abound.

Budget  

Heritage safaris are a slow burn, a deep dive into the soul of Dubai's dunes. There are no cookie-cutter experiences here. Instead, imagine camel caravans tracing ancient paths, Bedouin stories whispered under starlit skies, and the scent of freshly brewed Arabic coffee warming your hands.

  • Bedouin whispers: Trade tourist traps for genuine Bedouin traditions. Camel caravans, coffee rituals under starry skies, intricate henna designs – every moment whispers ancient stories.
  • Comfort under canvas: Ditch the crowds and embrace luxury. Private desert camps, plush cushions, and gourmet meals cooked over crackling fires are where comfort meets adventure.
  • Falconry's silent dance: Witness the awe-inspiring power of falcons soaring against the endless sky. More than just a show, it's a glimpse into a timeless partnership between man and bird.
  • Firelight and forgotten tales: As flames flicker, hear Bedouin stories whispered through generations. These aren't just campfire yarns; they're threads woven into the fabric of the desert itself.

The heritage desert safari starts from AED 135 but goes up to AED 2000, depending on the luxury and comfort you want in this culturally immersive experience. Sure, it's not the cheapest way to experience the desert, but it's far from ordinary. It's an investment in memories that linger long after the sand settles.

Activities

Or, choose from pre-designed packages with specific activities to craft your perfect desert escape.
