Overview

Our Red Sand Evening Desert Safari is the classic Dubai desert experience at a price that is hard to beat. A 4x4 Land Cruiser collects you in the afternoon and heads to the red dunes, where a licensed driver takes you dune bashing before stopping on a high dune for sunset photos and a go at sandboarding.

As the sun sets you arrive at our Bedouin-style camp for a short camel ride, henna painting, traditional costumes and the shisha area. The evening ends with two belly dance performances, two fire shows and the spinning Tanoura dance while you enjoy starters, a live BBQ, a continental buffet with vegetarian options, Arabic sweets and fresh fruit.

Perfect for
