Your Experience
Embark on an unforgettable overnight desert safari from Abu Dhabi, designed for those seeking adventure and authentic Arabian hospitality. This unique experience starts with a seamless pickup from your city hotel and a drive into the vast golden dunes that surround Abu Dhabi.
Desert Thrills and Cultural Wonders
Your journey kicks off in a 4X4 vehicle, expertly driven by an experienced desert guide. As you travel deeper into the desert, suspend reality on a heart-pounding dune bashing ride, scaling and descending towering sand dunes.
Upon reaching the camp, immerse yourself in the traditions of desert life. Climb atop a camel for a gentle trek, then glide down slopes on a sandboard. Capture memories in traditional Arabian dress, and opt for a temporary henna tattoo for a lasting souvenir. Relax in the Bedouin-style camp and enjoy a puff of flavored sheesha under the treasure-like desert sky.

Night of Entertainment & Flavorful Dining
As evening falls, savor the anticipation of a lavish BBQ dinner. Enjoy grilled meats and a range of Middle Eastern dishes, along with vegetarian options, all served with traditional hospitality. While you dine, be captivated by live performances: the swirling Tanoura dance and a mesmerizing belly dance under the stars.
After dinner, unwind around the campfire or relax in your Bedouin tent. This unforgettable night gives you the unique chance to sleep outdoors, away from city lights, with millions of stars illuminating the night sky.
Desert Sunrise and Breakfast
Wake to the peaceful silence of dawn and the smell of fresh Arabic coffee. Breakfast is served as the sun rises over the dunes, offering a serene start to your day. Take in the morning light with one more conversation or snap a few last photos before preparing to return to Abu Dhabi.
