What is a Dubai Desert Safari?

A Dubai desert safari is the ideal thing to do to sample the local culture. There’s something for everyone: dune bashing, sunsets, camel riding, henna tattoos, Arabian food, and live entertainment (Tanoura dancing, fire dancing, and belly dancing).

Here are 6 Reasons a Dubai Desert Safari Should Be at the Top of Your List of Things to Do in Dubai

Dune Bashing

When you arrive, the first thing you will do is go into the Dubai desert. Dune bashing is like riding a roller coaster. Your driver will take you up and down the sprawling dunes. If you don’t want to go fast, tell your driver ahead of time. After some time spent dune bashing, your driver will stop, and you’ll be able to take amazing sunset pictures.

Amazing Sunsets

Sunsets in Dubai are stunning, and when the backdrop is the Dubai desert, the pictures are epic. Your driver will assist you in taking the best sunset photos in the desert.

Camel Riding

When you reach the desert camp, they have an assortment of activities that you can do. One of the included activities is a camel ride. If you’ve never experienced a camel ride, you might want to upgrade to a longer ride. Be sure to hold on tight when the camel sits down.

Henna Tattoos

At the desert camp, there is also someone doing Henna tattoos. The small henna tattoos are free, or you can buy a larger one. The henna tattoo usually goes away in a few weeks.

Arabian Food

There will be tons of Arabian food for you to try at the desert camp. They usually have salads, soup, hummus, rice dishes, barbecue, and fruit. It is typically buffet style, but some companies will serve the food to you if you buy an upgraded package.

Live Entertainment

While you enjoy dinner, there will be several performances taking place. These typically include a fire dancer, a Tanoura dancer, and a belly dancer. The performers do a great job entertaining the audience.

The Dubai desert safari gives you a sampling of culture in the UAE and is a perfect way to start your trip to Dubai.
