Your day starts with a hotel pick-up to Dubai’s Red Dunes, where expert drivers take you dune bashing. Try sandboarding and opt for a quad bike ride for extra excitement. Next, you arrive at Al Marmoom Oasis and receive a traditional Arabian welcome with gahwa coffee, dates, and rose water.
Enjoy a relaxed Arabian lunch served on a traditional tray, featuring authentic dishes made with premium ingredients. After lunch, unwind with a nap or socialize inside shared or private tents, giving families and children time to rest before the Heritage experience through peaceful desert landscapes with wildlife views.
Participate in an interactive gahwa brewing session to learn how coffee beans are roasted, ground with cardamom, and brewed using a brass dallah, including the serving etiquette and symbolic meanings. Then, relax at Al Marmoom Café with Arabic coffee and dates while watching the sunset over the desert.
Visit the Arabian Horse Stud to observe horses and understand their cultural importance. Children can enjoy the kids’ farm area where they interact safely with goats and sheep. Join a camel caravan ride followed by a live falconry demonstration explaining the training and significance of falcons in the UAE.
As evening falls, a lavish buffet dinner offers Emirati, Moroccan, and Arabic cuisine. Post-dinner entertainment includes a horse show, live Oud music, and a fire performance. You can then choose to end the tour or stay longer at the bonfire with marshmallows, sweet potato, and corn. The final activity is a guided stargazing session before returning to Dubai.
