Overview

Overnight Desert Camping Dubai takes the classic evening safari and lets it continue long after the other guests have left. Once the shows end and the camp grows quiet, you gather around a campfire, look up at a sky full of stars far from the city lights and fall asleep in a Bedouin-style tent.

In the morning you wake up for sunrise over the dunes, enjoy a fresh breakfast at camp and are driven back to your hotel. Tents come with mattresses, pillows and blankets, and washrooms are available at the camp. It is an unforgettable experience for couples, families and photographers.

Perfect for

  • Stargazers
  • Couples
  • Adventure seekers
Tip from our desert team

Pack a hoodie even in spring – the desert cools down quickly after midnight, and a warm layer makes the sunrise far more enjoyable.
