Dubai: Overnight Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner at Al Khayma

ITINERARY

Pick-up and Optional Quad Bike Ride

You are making your desert dreams come true when you sign up for this overnight desert safari and stay experience. On the day of experience get picked up from the hotel and head to the desert. Just as the city sights fade and the desert begins to appear, be ready to start the day’s activities with an optional quad bike ride. 

Dune bashing & Sand boarding Experiences

What could be more adrenaline-rushing than speeding through the ups and downs of sandy dunes? Experience the real thrill of bashing into the dunes as our experienced driver takes you for a dune bashing activity. If you’re still up for some adventure, try sandboarding and glide seamlessly through the slopes in the desert.

Al Khayma Desert Camp & Camel Ride 

Get welcomed at the Al Khayma Camp in a traditional way with Arabic coffee, sweet treats, and dates. You can take your time to refresh and settle in the camp and then, go ahead with enjoying activities such as camel riding. By evening, you’ll get to click creative photographs of the dunes covered in the golden rays of the setting sun.

Bedouin Activities 

Back at the camp, the bedouin activities are sure to keep you engaged and entertained. Enjoy a complete makeover by dressing up in traditional Arab clothes and try henna painting to feel like a true Bedouin. While adorning the Arab attire, don’t miss the chance to click pictures with majestic falcons! If you’d like to try out Shisha, the camp also offers you that option.

3-Cuisine Dinner and Stargazing

At dinner, find yourself surrounded by a hearty feast, fully packed with Emirati, Moroccan, and Arabian delicacies from the Michelin-starred Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant. Taste the wonders of three cuisines as we entertain you with traditional Fire Show and arabian entertainments . Give the best closure for the day by spotting the stars with a telescope on a stargazing session.

Sunrise Camel Trekking & Traditional Breakfast

The next day, rise early to watch the first rays of sun falling on the dunes. Hop on the camel for one more time for a peaceful and refreshing morning trek. A delicious Arab breakfast will be offered to you when you reach the camp.

With loads of memories, we’ll then wrap up the desert experience and head back to the hotel.
