Wildlife Night Drive

In the early evening, depart your central Dubai hotel by air-conditioned 4 wheel drive vehicle. Your knowledgeable and experienced safari guide will point out landmarks of Dubai and share a wealth of local knowledge about the desert, it’s history and importance as you drive out to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. After approximately 45 minutes you will enter the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a unique reserve, funded by its visitors to conserve the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Arabian Desert.

Equipped with a spotlight, UV light and binoculars, your safari guide will drive through the dunes to seek out the nocturnal creatures who come out in the cool night to forage and feed. Under expert supervision, track scorpions in the sand - the fascinating glow of a scorpion’s exoskeleton under the UV light is captivating. The spotlight will pick up the glowing eyes of the plethora of resident rodents and even spiders and with binoculars you can zoom in and track and see the numerous creatures up close. Your guide will answer all your questions about the wildlife, and the role conservation plays in protecting them. 

End the night with a beverage or hot chocolate while star-gazing through our telescopes and learn about the constellations in the Arabian night sky. Your Safari ends with a return trip to Dubai to be dropped off at your hotel.
