Private Tour

On this unique 4x4 adventure you will get to see the diverse and lesser-known interior of the Emirates in a way that very few visitors to the country do. Your nature guide will lead the way (and communicate with the convoy using walkie talkies) while you head towards the East along lesser-known routes and adventurous offroad trails. Multiple visits and short walks along the way will give you a deeper insight into the geography, nature, and rural life of the Emirates, known to most for its large cities Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Koenraad has shown us that Dubai is not artificial but has an ancient culture and beautiful nature. We explored herb gardens, archaeological museums and nature. Koenraad has lived in Dubai for years and knows every part of it, from the rich nature, the hip and trendy part to the archaeology. We enjoyed it and got a completely different picture of Dubai.

We participated in the Journey to the Heart of the Emirates. It was a fantastic journey, great professionalism in the planning of the trip, day planning was very well balanced with options to stop during the trip whenever was best for us. We visited a mint farm and date plantation where we got some fresh mint for the after lunch tea break! Great! We got excellent explanation about all of the different landscapes, from the Hajar Mountains, the similar African Savannah landscape, wadi visit and a great picnic at a tropical fruit and date farm! Koen was a fantastic guide and we have enjoyed every single minute of our day-trip! Thanks for the great experience, one to recommend!

My husband and I booked Unveil Arabia for two days of private tours. The first was to Abu Dhabi and the other was their Heart of the emirates tour. We could not have been happier! From the zoom call we had in advance of our trip, to the communication after we had arrived in Dubai, this team of professionals were so great! They listened to our interests and planned tours which were customized to our desires. In particular, I wanted to interact with camels, but didn’t want to RIDE a camel (as I believe the ridden camels are often overworked and not treated well). Unveil Arabia arranged a wonderful visit to a camel farm where they were well-treated, friendly and healthy. This is just one example of the curated tour experience they will coordinate for you. Lastly, they helped arrange a dinner reservation for us to experience Dubai Fountain show, and we had the best seat in the house! You will not find a better, or more thorough tour company. Book Unveil Arabia, you will be glad you did!

We had an excellent day with Koen (two families including three children) and discovered in one day the Emirates from another angle, more authentic and totally off the beaten track. Many thanks for all the explanations about the local life and the great times spent together!

A fantastic trip to the heart of the Emirates. A must when you’re staying in Dubai. Konrad is a very knowledgable and friendly guide and ready to answer all our questions. We enjoyed immensely visiting the desert, mountains and local farms and can highly recommend this adventure.

It was an unforgettable experience. This trip has taught us a lot about the creation of the Emirates. It also shows that there is much more than just the buildings highly recommended! You will also taste some local specialties and customs!
