Have you thought of exploring the UAE's largest unfenced Desert Reserve? We will be transferred to Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve after a 50-minute journey from the hotel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle.
Exploring the desert, learn more about the Bedouin lifestyle, and be surprised if you see desert animals. Arriving at the traditional Bedouin Village, experience an authentic Emirati welcome with gahwa and sweets, followed by a camel caravan ride. Once you return, witness a live Arabic coffee-making session, sip the coffee, and explore the village. Later, catch a beautiful desert sunset, clicking amazing photos. In the village, see an Emirati lady making flatbreads and luqaimat before savoring a flavorful BBQ dinner.
After enjoying the Bedouin Entertainments we shall dress up in Arabic attire and take photos with a falcon. As the camp lights are turned off, indulge in a stargazing session with telescope.
As we end, we will be driving you back to your hotel or accommodation in Dubai.

The Evening Camel Caravan Tour and Bedouin Dinner was a fantastic tour. Great photo opportunities with the camels! Recommend booking the longer camel ride - well worth it. There was falcon bird holding, henna hand painting a fire show and much more. The dinner was incredible - so much to choose from! Our wonderful guide Amr Sheta was so attentive to any need, he was very informative and helpful in every way - I can highly recommend Amr!
Hi Georgia! Amr Sheta is thrilled you enjoyed the camel caravan, dinner, and activities. Being attentive and informative is exactly how we aim to run every tour.
Actually ride a camel for 40ish minutes unlike many others which only give a few minutes. My daufhter absolutely loved that part.
H Ilyai! We’re glad your camel ride was long and enjoyable. It’s fantastic your daughter loved that part so much.
Our guide, Siraj, was incredibly kind and helpful. He made us feel welcome and looked after from start to finish. We loved the place, and the food was excellent.
Great communication for pick up & transport, good experience for camel ride, experience of desert, great display of Arabian horses & falcons. Excellent food and fire show. Negative the sale of photos, perfumes etc.
I loved everything about this excursion from start to finish. Everyone was so nice, friendly and welcoming! The tour guide Mustafa ensured that I had a great experience especially as a solo traveler. The camel ride with Anwar Ali was amazing. He made the camel ride a lot of fun. I was anxious in the beginning of the camel ride abs he was able to alleviate my anxiety and take some great pictures for me. It was clear that the camel adores him. I had some delicious tea and got a henna tattoo. The food was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend this excursion! Amazing experience!
Hi Olusola, Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. Mustafa and Anwar Ali will be so happy to hear your kind words. We’re glad you felt safe and had fun. Hope to see you again for more tea and camel rides!
What a fantastic night! We had such a great time on our camel ride followed by a delicious dinner with entertainment. Even though it was ridiculously hot, and we were covered in sweat by the end, we still thoroughly enjoyed our time. The hospitality was great- our driver Imran treated us like VIPs and showed us things along the drive out to the camp, and at the camp we were constantly offered refreshing drinks, coffee and they made sure we didn’t miss out on any of the activities. If you want something a little less blood pumping then quad bikes and dune bashing, this is the trip for you!
Hi! What a lovely review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed every bit even with the heat. Imran will be so happy to hear he made you feel like VIPs. Hope to see you again for another relaxed desert night.
I had one of the best times of my life!!! Words cannot explain the joys I felt on the trip. From picking me up to. The driver sharing culture history. I was enveloped the whole time. The camel ride through the desert, looking at the stars. Most important of all. The dinner experience itself was everything I expect it to be. The people were so welcoming and joyous! I am very thankful to have meet them all! I look forward to returning one day and doing it again!

Everything was very memorable to us. The food, ambience, customer service, music and entertainment. There was no pressure to buy anything. They kept us well informed while at the camp. The food was flavorful, fresh and pleasing to the palette.
