Start your desert adventure with one of the most popular Dubai desert safari activities: dune bashing.
An experienced safari driver takes you across the dunes for approximately 30–45 minutes, combining the excitement of desert driving with views of the surrounding landscape.
After dune bashing, try sandboarding on the desert dunes. It is an easy way to add another adventure activity before continuing to Al Khayma Camp.
After the desert drive, arrive at Al Khayma Camp and experience a traditional Bedouin-inspired setting.
Enjoy a welcome with Arabic Gahwa and Gaymat before taking part in the camp activities. A camel ride allows you to experience the desert at a slower pace and enjoy the changing colours of the dunes.
The camp also provides comfortable seating, traditional hospitality areas, a tea and coffee station, prayer facilities, a performance stage and a dedicated Shisha area.
The evening at Al Khayma Camp combines traditional hospitality with cultural activities.
Enjoy Arabic coffee, local sweets and camel experiences, while guests can also participate in henna painting and Shisha.
A falcon experience adds another traditional Arabian element to the evening.
The experience is designed to give you time to relax at the camp after the more adventurous dune activities.
One of the highlights of the overnight safari is the extensive buffet dinner.
The dinner brings together three culinary traditions:
- Emirati cuisine
- Moroccan cuisine
- Arabian cuisine
The buffet includes a broad selection of salads, mezze, soups, grilled dishes, rice, vegetarian options, desserts and fresh fruit.
Dinner Highlights
The menu can include:
- Vegetable soup
- Hummus
- Russian salad
- Samosas
- Spring rolls
- Kebabs
- Grilled meats
- Biryani rice
- Paneer mutter
- Dal tadka
- Butter chicken
- Ouzi
- Manakish
- Kunafa
- Arabian sweets
- Fresh fruits
- Custard
The supplier currently describes the dinner as three buffet cuisines served at Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant.
After dinner, the desert camp becomes the setting for a programme of traditional and spectacular entertainment.
The experience includes:
- Mega Fire Show
- Arabian Horse Show
- Bedouin Camel Show
- Traditional Yola Show
- Falcon experience
These performances give the evening a lively atmosphere before the safari moves into its quieter nighttime experience.
After the entertainment and dinner, slow down and experience the desert after dark.
Enjoy a stargazing session with a telescope and look across the open desert sky away from the bright city environment.
The peaceful nighttime setting makes this one of the biggest advantages of choosing an overnight safari instead of a standard evening desert safari.
Instead of returning to Dubai after dinner, stay overnight at Al Khayma Camp in a private air-conditioned tent.
The accommodation includes Wi-Fi, seasonal fruit, Arabic bread, Chai, shower facilities, toiletries, towels and slippers.
The private tent allows you to relax after the evening programme and experience the desert at night in greater comfort.
Wake up early and experience the desert at its quietest.
Take a sunrise camel trek across the dunes and watch the first light spread across the desert landscape.
After the camel trek, return to camp for a traditional Arabic breakfast.
