Experience Dubai’s desert heritage with an overnight safari that trades fast-paced adventure for a slower, more traditional journey across the dunes by camel. Travel into the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, watch a sunset falcon show, and arrive at a torch-lit Bedouin camp for an evening of Arabic hospitality, live cultural activities, and a four-course traditional dinner.

As night falls, settle into a traditional stone dwelling room and enjoy the quiet of the desert under the stars. In the morning, wake to a gourmet breakfast before returning to the city, with the option to add a sunrise hot air balloon flight for an even more memorable desert escape.
