Stop At: Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi

Meet our expert safari guide at your selected location or hotel. After the pickup, we will drive you to the Abu Dhabi Desert in a modern, air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle to kickstart your safari packed with real thrills and excitement.

As the necessary preparations are carried out, including adjusting tire pressures and catching up with the convoy, we'll visit a camel farm where you can get up close to these animals well-adjusted to desert life.

Soon, you'll step into your 4x4 vehicle to embark on a thrilling session of dune bashing. Traverse the desert with excitement and conquer one dune after another, feeling your heart race as you ascend and descend the highest sand dunes. If your thirst for thrills remains unquenched, you can surf through the soft sands of the desert. After experiencing the exhilaration of the desert, you might even catch a glimpse of the sunset before heading to the campsite.

Duration: 3 hours

A warm welcome awaits you at the camp. Take a moment to rest and savor traditional coffee and dates at the campsite. Experience the ambiance of a Bedouin as you relax within the encampment, adorned with low-lying tables and Arabic cushions.

Engage in activities such as Henna painting and Shisha smoking. Following this, embark on a brief camel ride to witness the desert's beauty as dusk approaches. And then, it's time to don the traditional Arabic attire! Enjoy a photo opportunity while holding a falcon on your shoulder or hand.

Watch captivating performances of Tanoura dancing and belly dancing, as you relish a BBQ dinner featuring an array of delectable cuisines. Arabian Kebabs, alongside various Arabic salads, desserts, and main courses, the dinner promises a lavish culinary experience.

I don’t know where to start. This was not great experience… but the best moment of my life! Our driver Shameerka from OceanAir Travels picked up our group directly at the hotel, described points of interest during the way to desert, took a lot of photo of us, every step was described perfectly. I’m speechless.. I really enjoyed this moment so much. Dunes, camels, dancers, environment…. Thank you very much for this fantastic moment! Never forget it.

Awesome adventure in the sand dunes of Abu Dhabi. A 6 hour experience of exhilaration, including navigating the dunes in a 4x4 that is like a roller coaster ride, fun in the sun, came rides, dune surfing, good food, belly dancing and more. Our driver, Ramshu, was kind, friendly, patient and more importantly, an experienced driver. He made the whole experience so much more memorable. Well worth the price.

Excellent company and service. Hamsa was our host/driver and couldn't have asked for a better person. Super attentive, took care of our needs without being asked and on top of it all, captured some beautiful memories for us

This ‘seven hour’ desert safari returned us almost exactly five and a half hours after we were picked up. It’s unfortunate that there is a lie in the title because otherwise it was quite good fun. Reasonable value for money. Nothing special, does what it advertises and is well organised. Our host/driver was very quiet but friendly and looked after us well. It’s surprising to see an overwhelming number of excellent ratings, for us it was somewhere between average and good.
