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 high-tech night-vision binoculars, 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.

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.

Slightly disappointed that we didn't see more large animals during our walk but I know sightings, by their nature, are unpredictable. We did, however, see oryx and a deer at the feeding troughs. I loved the experience of walking in the desert at night; a perfect place to see the stars. It was a pity that we could see the lights of civilisation on the fringes. The campsite was interesting, fun and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed trying the shisha. The drinks were as expected but the snacks were too similar, all being pancakes of one sort or another. I thought we might have had more variety. like olives, houmos, or similar. Overall, however, it was an inforgettable experience.
