Desert Delight Tourism’s Evening Desert Safari Dubai is the classic desert experience. You are picked up from your hotel or residence in a shared 4×4 Land Cruiser, then driven to the desert for dune bashing, sandboarding, a short camel ride, and a sunset photo stop when conditions allow.
After the adventure, you continue to the desert camp for refreshments and starter food, henna painting for ladies and kids, Arabic costumes for photos, and shared shisha. Dinner is an international BBQ buffet with vegetarian and non vegetarian options. The evening ends with live entertainment shows, then your shared 4×4 return transfer back to the city.
