A first class experience. The 1950s open top Land Rover was great fun. We were unsuccessful in finding much wildlife as there was a full moon and the little critters went into hiding. The stargazing was amazing though. Eddie the Aussie was so knowledgable and entertaining. Can thoroughly recommend.

Full description

Explore the Dubai desert after the sun has set and the temperture has cooled. Watch the desert come alive with nocturnal animals, and gaze at a sky filled with stars. You will travel to the desert by vintage 1950s Land Rover. Then, using torches, explore the extraordinary desertscape after dark. Even day time animals can emerge from their hideouts to drink, forage, and frolic after the heat of the day. Experience the quiet desert atmosphere and fresh desert air, in sharp contrast to the bright lights, intense heat, and loud noise of Dubai city center. After your nature safari, relax at an open-air camp belonging to a local royal family. Enjoy the cool desert air under a blanket of stars, as a three-course dinner and drinks are served. You will also get the chance to try an aromatic shisha pipe for a truly authentic Arabic experience. The evening ends perfectly when you're taken on a journey through the galaxies and hear tales about the starry sky and how the Bedouin used it to find their way.
