About this activity

Experience the UAE desert at golden hour with this 7-hour evening safari combining dune driving, camel interactions, and a traditional BBQ dinner at a Bedouin-style camp. It's the quintessential Dubai desert experience—offering authentic cultural immersion and stunning landscape photography without requiring previous experience.

Evening Desert Safari with Camp Activities - is the most popular tourist activity and a must one for people who visit UAE.
Desert safaris are nothing less than exciting, intriguing and an altogether fantastic way to indulge in the local culture – as well as getting the rare opportunity to see the desert first-hand.

Highlights

  • 4×4 dune bashing across red and golden sands
  • Camel riding and photo opportunities
  • Traditional BBQ dinner with grilled meats and mezze
  • Live entertainment and camp activities (henna, shisha, belly dancing)
  • Sunset and starlit desert views

Insider tips

  • Arrive early at pickup to secure a window seat in the 4×4—essential for photos and comfort during dune driving
  • Wear layers; desert temperatures drop significantly after sunset despite daytime heat
  • Bring a light scarf or shawl to protect from sand and dust during dune bashing, plus sunscreen for exposed skin
  • Skip heavy lunch beforehand—the BBQ dinner is substantial, and eating lightly prevents discomfort on bumpy dunes

Good to know

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off typically included; confirm your location at booking
  • Activity involves moderate physical activity (getting in/out of vehicles, optional camel riding); not suitable for severe mobility issues without prior notice
  • Dune bashing can be vigorous—those with back/neck issues should request a slower vehicle or inform the operator
  • Vegetarian/vegan meal options usually available with advance notice
  • Photography-friendly; bring a camera or smartphone with good battery (no charging at camp)
