We had a wonderful time at our Overnight Desert Safari ❤️ Many Thanks to our great guide and driver Rashid who made this experience to an unforgettable highlight 🙏 The driving through the Dunes was thrilling and amazing also very nice to stop in between for a short break and pictures. The relaxing atmosphere in our sleeping destination with a bone fire was very romantic and the sleeping in a beduin tent was amazing. Before Breakfast we had an awesome time enjoying the Dunes barefoot and see the sunrise with Desert Dunes all around us.

Full description

Spend one day and night in the desert and experience the complete thrill! Take in the desert evening and get the real exposure to desert life.

The campsite is attractively and artistically designed with Arabian concept and feel. Here you can enjoy the music along with tea and Arabic coffee. In addition, you can try sheesha in different flavors; it will make you feel calm and help you to relax. You can explore the camp at your own pace and cover yourself in traditional Arabic dresses and be photographed. The overnight desert safari is a fun experience that includes henna painting for ladies.

International food with a Barbecue will whet your appetite. Once all the thrill calms down you sit together and chat with your beloved or your friends and enjoy the rhythm of the desert night. You go to sleep recalling the evening that you spent in the desert and prepare your mind to wake up in the morning to see the desert sun. After having breakfast and a glorifying sunrise experience you bid farewell to the desert adventures.

Our driver Ahmed was super friendly and nice. Our highlights have been the dune bashing (must do!), fire show in the camp at night, sitting at the campfire under the stars at night and getting served tasty tea. It was a great experience :-)
