What To Expect?

Discover a Different Side of Dubai
Our Evening Desert Safari is one of our best-priced desert packages; it offers a perfect mix of adventure, cultural entertainment, and sumptuous dinner under the stars. This makes it perfect for anyone who wants to get away from the dazzling part of the city and further admire its surrounding pristine desert landscape.

Feel the Adventure of a Lifetime
The real highlight of our Evening Desert Safari is an exciting, adrenaline-pumping 4×4 drive that unfurls the indescribable beauty and serenity of the desert sands. Yes, it lets you explore the vast stretch of the golden dunes by plummeting low in the deep ditches and escalating high on the summit of the dunes. A not to miss out as part of this safari is the enchanting desert sunset views that allow for an exceptional photographic experience.

Get to know the Authentic Bedouin Culture and Heritage
Following dune bash, you will visit our traditional Arabic Bedouin campsite where you get to capture the real essence and beauty of the desert. Relish traditional Arabic coffee, relax in the traditionally decorated tents, and smoke flavored Shisha. You will also get the opportunity to ride a camel, walk over desert sands, put on Arabic attire (for capturing souvenir pictures), adorn your hands with mind blowing henna designs, and take pictures of falcon sitting on your shoulder.

Enjoy Sumptuous BBQ Dining & Be Entertained by Captivating Traditional Performances
To tantalize your taste buds, this exclusive safari also includes a scrumptious dinner featuring international buffet with a choice of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Moreover, you will get to enjoy the mesmerizing belly dance movements and stunning Tanura show.

Itinerary

Pickup at the hotel Your adventure begins around 14:30 to 15:00 (our team will confirm the exact time by WhatsApp in the day of your safari). Your experience begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or residence in Dubai, typically in a shared or private 4×4 vehicle. As you leave the city behind, the landscape slowly changes — setting the tone for an evening in the desert.
Dune Bashing & Sandboarding Once inside the desert, the adventure kicks off with an exhilarating dune bashing session led by an experienced driver. Ride up and down the rolling dunes, followed by a chance to try sandboarding — a fun, optional activity suitable for beginners and thrill-seekers alike. Photo stops are usually included so you can capture the dramatic desert scenery.
Rayna Desert Camp After the drive, you’ll arrive at a traditional-style desert camp, designed to offer a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Here, you can unwind, enjoy the setting, and take part in light activities such as camel rides, traditional seating, and photo opportunities in a desert-inspired environment.
3-course buffet dinner As the evening settles in, enjoy a buffet dinner featuring a mix of Arabic, Asian, and international dishes. The spread typically includes vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, salads, grilled items, and desserts — served in a casual, open-air dining setup under the desert sky.
Arabian entertainment During dinner, the camp comes alive with live entertainment, which may include belly dance performances, Tanoura dance, and fire shows (subject to schedule and regulations). These performances add energy and atmosphere to the evening without overpowering the relaxed desert setting.
Drop-off at the hotel After the entertainment concludes, you’ll be driven back to your hotel or residence in Dubai, bringing the evening to a smooth close. Expect to return with sand on your shoes, photos on your phone, and a classic Dubai desert experience to remember.
