Grab this never-before opportunity of experiencing the true Bedouin culture in Dubai. The Bedouin Culture Safari gives an insight into their lifestyle amidst the desert. For years, Bedouins have been living in the unforgiving desert.

The journey starts early morning with your arrival at the desert. The activity begins with an exciting camel ride. Ride the majestic ‘Ship of Desert’ and traverse the vast golden stretches. Camels are crucial for the Arabians due to their fantastic survival capacity. Moreover, they are intelligent and resilient to deal with intolerable heat.
