Dubai: Desert Safari and Dinner

Discover the magic and mystery of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve at dusk on a half-day evening safari to watch the sun go down outside the city lights of Dubai. Since only a few tour operators have access to this serene desert reserve, you'll be able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and admire the region's vibrant wildlife in peace.

Following a pick-up from your hotel in the city center (between 2:30 PM and 3:00 PM), drive to a traditional Bedouin-style camp, crossing the sand dunes as the sun sets. Stop to take photos of the sunset colors from the top of a dune. Continue to the camp for a traditional welcome and typical desert activities. Enjoy a magnificent falcon display.

See the desert from the back of a camel, try mini sand-boarding (weather permitting) and get an ornate henna painting on your hands. Then, enjoy an Arabic style buffet dinner of grilled meats, meze, desserts and unlimited select drinks. Relax with a shisha pipe as you watch a belly-dance show under a canopy of stars. You will return to your hotel between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM (depending on time of year, traffic and your hotel location).
