Day 01
The best way to experience the desert lifestyle of Bedouin tribes is by joining a Heritage Desert Safari, the most awarded Desert Safari in Dubai.
- Picked up from your hotel or selected location by your tour guide, the professional safari driver will escort you to the Desert Conservative Area, where you will meet your co-travelers.
- Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a vintage 1950s land rover fleet and Camels. The team will tie a traditional headscarf in the classic Arab style, Sheila/Ghutra, to protect you from the dry heat and sandy winds.
- Your vintage Landrover will move around the dunes, and the guide will explain flora and fauna of the deserts in this part of the world. You may get the rare chance to spot native wildlife like Arabian oryx in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and stop at a Ghaf tree forest in the dunes for the most spectacular photo opportunities in the desert.
- This Desert Safari does not include Dune Bashing in the desert, so the people who are car sick don’t need to worry about it. During this experience, you will witness the art of falconry. Falconry is an integral part of Bedouin traditions, and you will be able to see these magnificent birds in action.
- At sunset, the guide will take you to the traditional desert Bedouin desert camp, where you will have the chance to experience the desert lifestyle of the people. Before the delicious dinner and cultural performances, you can get tattooed by a local henna designer and watch the live Arabian bread and Coffee making sessions. You will also have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride the camels in their natural habitat.
- The food will be one of the highlights of your Desert Safari, the 4-course authentic Emirati Cuisine where you will have bread, salad, couscous, meats, rice, and some of the best desserts. You will also get to taste the Camel Milk and Meat. Don’t forget to try the favorite Emirate doughnut, LUQAIMAT served with dates syrup.
- After the dinner, Experience the captivating Emirati Cultural Dance performances. After the Yola and Drum Performances, which will take you back to the good old days of Dubai, the safari guide will meet you in your seats and transfer you back to your hotel with long-lasting memories of an evening well spent under the open sky.
