Description

This 17-hour, overnight tour departs Dubai in the afternoon for a drive across the desert. Your Jeep traverses the Arabian Desert stopping for photos during an exciting dune drive. Passing a camel farm, you stop for a briefing on the ‘Ships of the Desert’ then drive towards our traditional Arabian Campsite where a spectacular sunset welcomes you with ‘Gahwa’ Arabic coffee and local dates. Experience a brief camel ride, try sand boarding and get up close and personal with the UAE’s National bird, a majestic falcon then get a henna tattoo and relax with a Shisha water-pipe. Whet your appetite with a Shawarma or Falafil sandwich, both popular local snacks, before settling in to watch the evening's live entertainment. A mesmerizing Tanoura traditional folk dance is followed by an enthralling fire blower show. Take a break and enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner. Later a tantalizing belly dance performed under the starlit sky. As evening turns into night, retire to your Igloo tents and sleeping bags* for a restful sleep. Awaken refreshed from a deep slumber in time for a glorious sunrise or later to the aroma of fresh coffee and a delicious Arabian Breakfast comprising local and regional items. All too soon, it is time to return.
