Itinerary

Leave your central Abu Dhabi hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned 4x4 and enjoy the views as you travel deep into the desert surrounding the city.After a while, pull up at a desert camel farm to discover more about these hardy animals, traditionally used as transport by the UAEā€™s original, semi-nomadic Bedouin peoples. Snap photos of the camels and with instructions from your guide, take a camel ride across the sands. Enjoy the desert views from your perch and try your hand at other desert activities. Hop on a sandboard to ā€˜surfā€™ down the dunes, enjoy a stint of dune bashing as your expert driver steers your 4x4 up and down the sandy slopes, and perhaps get an intricate henna tattoo painted on your hands or feet. Arrive at a torchlit desert camp and sit down to a mouth-watering Arabian barbecue dinner. Absorb the enchanting setting and after dinner, enjoy a belly dancing show around the crackling campfire. If you wish, puff on a shisha (Arabic water pipe) under the stars to finish your Arabian-inspired evening. Your experience ends with a hotel drop-off back in Abu Dhabi.

Great fun!

The sand dune driving was great fun! And longer than expected. The Tanura dancing was an unexpected highlight.

Evening Desert safari with dinner

Published on Oct, 2022

We were collected 13 October on time from our hotel and shared a 4x4 with others we picked up along the way and drove 65km out to magnificent sand dunes where we roller coasted over the dunes. It was a lot of fun and included a photo stop where you could see sand for miles as well as a camel stop where you could interact and take photos with the camels. Our driver guide Kabeer manoeuvred the dunes with precision and took great photos of anyone that wished it. By the time we arrived at camp the sun was setting displaying an array of gorgeous colours. Before dark you could sand board, camel ride, dress in traditional attire, or sit to have your hand decorated with henna not to mention an up close and personal view of a peregrine Falcon. A sumptuous buffet middle eastern dinner ensued whilst sitting on cushions at low tables with entertaining performers. All in all the balmy evening and whole experience managed by Kabeer was wonderful. Highly recommend Orient tours and Kabeer who enhanced our whole experience.

A great end to our family holiday

DESERT SAFARI

Published on Dec, 2019

A very exciting tour of the sand dunes of Dubai. We used Oriental Tours for this and it was a well organized fun filled activity. Kids enjoyed thoroughly and were impressed with the skilled tour guides cruising through the dunes. This was followed by an exciting evening at their camp, backed by performances and a buffet BBQ freshly prepared for the group. An exciting experience to ride the camels in the desert.
