Desert Safari + Al Faqaa Camp

Enjoy an unforgettable evening in the Arabian desert with a classic desert safari experience. Leave the city behind and travel into the golden dunes for an exciting off-road adventure, beautiful sunset views, and a relaxing evening at a traditional desert camp.

Your journey begins with pickup from your hotel, followed by a thrilling dune drive across the desert in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle. Along the way, you will have time to stop for photos and take in the peaceful beauty of the desert landscape. Guests may also get the chance to try sandboarding on the dunes.

After the desert drive, continue to a welcoming safari camp where you can relax in a traditional setting with cushions, carpets, and a central stage. Enjoy a short camel ride, try henna painting, take photos in local-style dress, or simply unwind as the evening atmosphere builds.

As night falls, a buffet dinner with BBQ and soft drinks will be served. The evening continues with live entertainment, which may include Tanoura dance, belly dance, and a fire show. This experience is a perfect mix of adventure, culture, dining, and entertainment, making it one of the most popular activities for visitors and residents in the UAE.
