Our guide to Dubai Desert Safari and Sunset Barbecue

A ‘must-do’ experience for anyone visiting Dubai! Dive into the desert for a thrilling adventure.

You’ll be picked up in a modern, air-conditioned 4x4 and taken on an exhilarating dune drive across the Arabian Desert with an expert driver. Feel the excitement as you race up and down giant sand dunes for about 30 minutes—guaranteed laughter and shrieks!

At the top of the largest dune, soak in the breathtaking desert sunset and snap some Instagram-worthy photos. Then, head to an exclusive traditional Bedouin campsite nestled deep in the sands. Here, you’ll receive a warm welcome with dates and coffee, and you can even try camel riding or sand surfing while a delicious barbecue dinner is prepared over open fires.

For a truly immersive experience, enjoy a traditional aromatic water pipe or Shisha, and don’t miss the chance to get a henna tattoo on your hands or feet. Dinner is served under the stars, featuring shawarma and falafel sandwiches as starters, followed by a BBQ buffet with side dishes, soft drinks, mineral water, coffee, and tea.

Finally, be mesmerized by Tanoura and belly dancing performances under the Arabian sky—a magical ending to your unforgettable desert adventure!
