Desert

A Camel Desert Safari is the most traditional way to explore the Dubai desert. Traverse the desert on a traditional camel convoy and experience why nomadic Bedouin relied on these endearing animals. We follow strict animal welfare guidelines and only offer ethical Camel Safaris in Dubai.

Known as the ships of the desert due to the ease at which they elegantly stride across the desert sands, camels are the oldest modes of transport in the desert. Your 45-minute journey through the desert traces the footsteps of Bedouin travellers and leads you to a falcon show in the desert dunes. Experience a significant part of Emirati culture at a professional falcon show. Watch these cherished birds fly to a lure and reach full speeds up to 390km/h.

As the Arabian sun sets behind the dunes, sit back and relax taking in the stunning views of the desert. Get great photo opportunities with the falcons before heading to an authentic gently-lit Bedouin camp inside a private Royal desert retreat.

Spend the evening in a scene of Dubai as it was in the 1950s. Soak up the culture with fascinating activities like henna painting, live Arabic bread and coffee making, traditional performances, and top-quality shisha (hubbly bubbly), in our traditionally built Bedouin camp. Feast on a 4-course dinner of Arabic cuisine and revel in the magic of this unique setting in the desert under the stars.

Get ready for a unique desert adventure on the most awarded Camel Desert Safari in Dubai!

The safari is a walk in the UAE desert that can be done in the morning or in the afternoon.

During this activity, a driver will pick you up from your hotel to take you to the gates of the desert.

The excursion is marked by a first stop of about 30 mins, during which the drivers deflate their tires and where the cars regroup to start the activity together. During this downtime, you can take the opportunity to stretch your legs, quench your thirst or even combine your activity with a buggy or quad ride by clicking here (combo safari + quad and / or buggy). Following the very eventful walk on the dunes, a photo break is offered. While some pose, others can practice sand surfing (complementary activity and offered).

You will then be taken to the Bedouin camp, where camels, dinner, drinks and a show await you. At the entrance, you will be greeted by a herd of camels, on which you can ride for a short ride, as a welcome gift.

If you’ve traveled all the way to Dubai and don’t plan on spending some time in the desert, think again! This day trip outside the city will give you a totally Arabian experience.

Start with a dune walk through the Dubai desert, and cross camel riding and sandboarding off your list while you’re at it. Then, cool off from the heat with dinner at an al fresco restaurant, where there’s no shortage of entertainment either! Along with a delicious regional meal, expect dazzling traditional dances.
