The Dubai Desert Safari with Royal Desert Adventures begins with a convenient pickup in a 4×4 vehicle from your hotel or a central location in the city. As you leave behind the skyscrapers of Dubai, the scenery slowly changes, and within a short drive you arrive at the edge of the desert. This is where the adventure truly begins.
Your driver deflates the tires and takes you on a thrilling dune bashing ride across golden sand dunes. The powerful Land Cruiser moves up and down the dunes, creating a rollercoaster-like experience. For many visitors, dune bashing is the most thrilling part of the safari, as it combines speed, skill, and stunning views of the desert horizon.
Once the adrenaline slows down, the safari continues with traditional desert activities. A short camel ride allows you to experience the ancient Bedouin way of traveling, while sandboarding down the soft dunes adds a fun element for adventure seekers. For those looking for more, optional upgrades such as quad biking and dune buggy rides provide a chance to explore the desert landscape at your own pace. Each activity offers a unique perspective of the desert, from calm and cultural to fast and exhilarating.
As the sun begins to set, the desert transforms into a natural canvas of red and golden colors. This is the perfect time to capture photographs of the breathtaking landscape. Guests are welcomed at a traditional Bedouin-style camp with Arabic coffee, tea, fresh dates, and refreshments. The camp is designed to reflect Arabian hospitality and culture, offering a relaxing yet vibrant setting.
The evening unfolds with a series of live performances that celebrate Middle Eastern art and tradition. Belly dancers showcase elegance, Tanura performers whirl in colorful skirts, and fire artists create a thrilling spectacle. Meanwhile, a buffet dinner with BBQ is served, offering a variety of dishes to satisfy both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests.
For those interested in cultural experiences, henna tattoo artists create intricate designs, and Arabic costumes are available for photography. You can also book falcon photography or a hot air balloon ride if you wish to enhance your experience.
The safari ends with drop-off back to your location, leaving you with memories of a journey that blends adventure, culture, and Arabian hospitality.
