What To Expect

Start your experience with a pickup from your centrally located Dubai hotel and settle into your air-conditioned 4x4, with your driver doubling as your guide. Leave the city behind and admire the desert views as you head towards your base for the evening. As you drive, enjoy some exciting dune bashing just as the sun starts to sink over the desert. Then, arrive at the lantern-lit, Bedouin-style camp and enjoy a traditional welcome of freshly brewed Arabic coffee and dates, paired with the offer of an aromatic shisha (Arabic water pipe). During your visit, enjoy a 15-minute quad bike ride. After a safety briefing and instructions, put on your helmet, rev your engine and rumble around the camp and surrounding desert terrain. Head for a nearby camel farm and make like a Bedouin with a camel ride. As your hump-backed herbivore plods over the sands, enjoy the panoramic views from your elevated perch. Afterward, see some sand art and traditionally dressed Arabic henna artists at work, and if you wish, get your own henna tattoo painted on your hands or feet. As dusk falls, return to the desert camp and sit down to a mouthwatering barbecue dinner. Savor an enticing selection of mezze, kebabs, fresh salads and desserts, served with soda and water. Additional drinks are available from the cash bar. See the Itinerary for a sample menu. While you eat, be spellbound by a live belly dance performance played out to Arabic music. Then, after your meal, watch a tanoura dance show, where whirling dervish-style dancers spin effortlessly across the floor at dizzying speed. When the time comes, enjoy a relaxing 4x4 ride back to Dubai, where your trip ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

    We had a great time! Our guide was engaging and fun. I wouldn’t recommend the VIP for the dinner. We were told one thing and received another. Wherever you sit you can see the show.

    The tour made the trip all worth it. I took my wife and two teenaged children to Dubai and all say this tour was the highlight of the trip. Our guide, Ghulam, was amazing. He was very attentive to all of our needs. My son loved the four wheelers and my wife and daughter couldn’t get enough of the camel ride. Ending the night with a fire and belly dancing show in the cool desert breeze was great. Throughout the whole 6 hours, Ghulam made sure we had a great time. My son go tired and Ghulam even set him up in a tent to take a much needed nap. That was a special little bonus that we didn’t expect, but my son sure did appreciate. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to have a great desert experience.

    Communication throughout the experience could not be faulted. Mr “G” kept us informed of his expected arrival for pickup (traffic delays) throughout. His knowledge and skills, also could not be faulted. Added bonus, Mr G was a brilliant photographer! A totally wonderful and enjoyable experience.

    It’s a great experience that opens your mind to local custom and culture, food, and experiences. With the thrill and adrenaline from dune bashing, eating music and entertainment. It is a complete pleasure!
