Description

Dubai: Desert Safari, Quad Bike, Camel Ride & Al Khayma Camp

Discover the desert outside of Dubai on a guided red dunes desert safari. Enjoy the opportunity to take part in a variety of activities, including thrilling dune bashing, optional quad biking, a serene camel ride, and interactions with falcons. Opt for an extended tour to experience dinner and entertainment at a traditional desert camp. You will be picked up from your hotel or selected location in Dubai in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle by your guide. From there, you'll be taken comfortably to the Dubai desert, with a brief stop along the way to adjust the tyre pressure for a smooth desert drive. During this time, you can use the restroom facilities, take photos with falcons, or try optional quad biking if you're interested. Once at the desert, get ready for an exciting session of dune bashing with trained drivers. The thrill of sliding down the dunes adds extra fun to your adventure, making it unforgettable. Afterward, try your hand at sandboarding down the sandy slopes, perfect for snapping memorable photos of the beautiful desert landscape. Next, stop at the Red Dunes desert and enjoy a camel ride in the open desert. Then, relax in an air-conditioned tent as you enjoy soft drinks, water, Arabic tea or coffee with dates. For those opting for the extended 7-hour tour, head to the Al Khayma camp where you will be welcomed with rose water, Arabic coffee, local sweets, and dates. Say hello to the camp's resident camels and, if you like, hop on for a ride across the dunes. The camp's activities include camel feeding, falcon interactions, henna painting, Arabic coffee and tea, and even a shisha station. Enjoy some entertainment shows and have a delicious BBQ dinner at the camp. As the tour comes to an end, you'll be comfortably dropped off back at your hotel or selected location, having experienced the best of Dubai's desert activities and hospitality.

Die Aktivität hat uns sehr Spaß gemacht, der Guide Waqar Hassan war Super er war sehr Nett und hat uns auf dem Weg ebenfalls erklärt was einige Gebäude und Sehenswürdigkeiten in Dubai bedeuten und die Story dahinter. Im Allgemeinen war die Tour sehr gut, das Camp, das Essen und die Aktivitäten waren Toll. Das Quadfahren (35 Minuten) war leider nur in einem kleinen Bereich, man müsste das 1 Stündige Quadfahren buchen um die komplette Fläche nutzen zu dürfen. Im Gesamten würde ich es weiterempfehlen.

We had such a wonderful experience on our desert safari today! Everything was really well organised, and we had an amazing time from start to finish. Our guide Babar was incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He was happy to answer all of our questions and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. I’ve had a few guided tours throughout my trip, and I must say that Babar has been the best guide my husband and I have had the pleasure of meeting ☺️
