Description

This 17-hour overnight tour departs Dubai in the afternoon for an adventurous desert drive. The Jeep crosses the Arabian Desert with stops for photos during a dune bashing session. You visit a camel farm for a briefing on the ‘Ships of the Desert’ before continuing to a traditional Arabian campsite. A sunset welcome includes ‘Gahwa’ Arabic coffee and local dates.

At the campsite, experience a brief camel ride, try sandboarding, get a henna tattoo, and relax with a Shisha water-pipe (subject to current restrictions). Light snacks such as Shawarma or Falafel sandwiches are served before evening entertainment begins.

The program features a Tanoura traditional folk dance followed by a fire blower show. After a barbecue dinner, enjoy a belly dance performance under the stars. Guests then retire to Igloo tents with sleeping bags for overnight accommodation.

Wake up refreshed to a sunrise or later breakfast with fresh coffee and an Arabian breakfast menu. The tour concludes with a return transfer to the city.
