Itinerary

Admission included180 min

Our guide will receive you from the select location or hotel and take you for a desert safari in one AC 4WD vehicle. After around an hour’s journey, you will reach the desert. There you will get some time at a restroom for relaxing / warming up, while your vehicle is being equipped for a desert ride with suitable tire pressure and other adjustments. You may choose to ride a Quad bike in surroundings as an optional extra. The safari begins with dune bashing. After enjoying about 30-40 minutes of dune bashing, thrill yourselves further by trying sandboarding (sand surfing). Next, we will proceed to ‘Al Khayma’ - an authentic desert camp.

Admission included180 min

At the Al Khayma desert camp, get a welcome in a typical way with Dates, Sweets, and Qahwa (Arabic Coffee). Feel the real Bedouin encampment as you sit in open air or Majlis - cushions and low tables to sit on with carpets spread all over. Near the camp, take a ride in a Camel caravan/group. You may also witness the sunset view (subject to the situation, not guaranteed) from the sunset dune, close to Al Khayma. Back at Al Khayma, enjoy smoking Shisha, try Henna painting. Also do an Arab makeover in local costumes and take few snaps with one Falcon resting on your hand or shoulder. Soon you can watch the colorful performance of Tanoura dance, and have a dinner open buffet that includes Mix grilled, Salads, Desserts, and all. In addition, the Ladies Khaliji Dance will keep you entertained. At last, you will be returned to the select location or hotel.

Desert Safari Experience

Driver/Guide Kamran was the best! From pickup at hotel until evening return. He knew all the best places to stop, routes through the sands that were the most fun, arranged for the best table for the shows and made sure that our group knew everything that was going on and available to us.

Dune bashing & co

It was very nice !!! Everything was fine. But By Law all entertainments and celebrations such as the camp shows (Tanora & Belly Dance) were banned until the end of March due to the outbreak of Covid-19. That was a little fail but the tour guide (Roshin) was really really good!!!!
