Quick Overview of the Arabian Desert Safari Tour

The Arabian Desert Safari Tour is a popular activity in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that allows visitors to escape the city and immerse themselves in the beauty of the Arabian desert. One of the main features of the tour is the convenience it offers. We provide pick-up and drop-off services from your hotel or home, making it incredibly easy for tourists to join the excursion. It withdraws the hassle of organizing transportation and allows visitors to sit back, relax, and enjoy the adventure.

Once you arrive at the desert, the adventure begins with a thrilling activity called dune bashing. Hop into a 4×4 vehicle and hold on tight as your skilled driver takes you on an adrenaline-pumping ride through the dunes. The feeling of speeding up and down the dunes, with the sand flying all around you, is an exhilarating experience that gets your heart racing.

If you prefer a more laid-back activity, sand-boarding is a tremendous option. Strap your feet onto a board and slide down the sandy slopes, much like snowboarding but without the cold temperatures. It’s a unique way to enjoy the desert’s vast expanse and feel the rush of adrenaline as you glide down the dunes.

After these exciting activities, it’s time to indulge in a delicious BBQ and buffet dinner. Savor traditional Arabian cuisine while surrounded by the stunning desert landscape. Feast on grilled kebabs, fresh salads, and flavorful rice dishes. The flavors and aromas allow you to tantalize your taste buds, creating a truthfully memorable dining experience.

The tour further includes live entertainment shows to boost the evening. Belly dancers and Fire breather’s performances showcase traditional Arabian art forms and cultural traditions. Watch in awe as talented performers captivate the audience with their skills and grace. The vibrant music and colorful costumes add to the enchanting ambiance of the desert.

Finally, the tour offers various desert rides, including camel riding, quad biking, and dune buggy rides. Experience the desert like a true Bedouin as you ride atop a camel, feeling the gentle sway of the majestic creature beneath you. Or, for the more adventurous, jump on a quad bike or dune buggy and zoom across the sand, feeling the wind in your hair and the sandy terrain beneath your tires.

Among the various safari options that are available to you, the Arabian Nights Dream Desert Safari is definitely the one that gives you not only the best experience but also long-lasting memories. Now, the best Desert Safari Tour Operator that can ensure a memorable experience is the Dubai Desert Safari Tours . Further, Tripadvisor , a reputed online travel company, has provided this operator with a Certificate of Excellence based on user reviews.

Arabian Nights Dream Desert Safari – What To Expect

This safari is one of the most sought-after tours as it enables you to escape from the mundane city life and experience the life and culture of the Arabs in the right manner. You get to spend an entire night in the deserts of Dubai just like how the Arabs lived in the past. From thrilling activities to camping in the desert, cultural programmes, and luxury BBQ dinner, this desert safari tour would enthrall you with a breath-taking experience as you indulge in this amazing overnight desert safari.

The Overnight Desert Safari promises to give you the lifestyle experience you have read about in the famous “One Thousand and One Nights” (English version – Arabian Nights) which contains a collection of folk stories from the Middle East. The tour starts with you being picked up from your hotel or a designated point at around 3:00 to 3:30 pm in a 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser or an equivalent vehicle. The tour comes to a close at around 8:00 to 8:30 am the following day when you are dropped back at the point from where you were picked up.

Arabian Nights Dream Desert Safari – Activities and Cultural Experiences

Thrilling rides with arabian safari.

After picking up, a short drive takes you away from the busy city to a vast stretch of sand dunes. The driver-cum-guide meets with a dozen other drivers who have brought travellers to the desert and you will be taken on the most thrilling desert activity called dune bashing. Basically a type of off-road drive, it involves driving up and down sand dunes at varying speeds. The expert driver maneuvers the vehicle skilfully to maintain balance as you are thrown around within the SUV. The thrill cannot be explained, it has to be experienced!

Other adrenaline-pumping activities that you can experience in the desert include sandboarding, quad biking/buggy riding (optional), and hot air ballooning (optional). If you are not interested in participating in these thrilling activities, you can opt for a long camel ride which gives you an opportunity to explore the flora and fauna of the Dubai deserts and take some incredible photographs. A short camel ride for about 20 minutes is included in this desert safari.

Sunset Viewing with Arabian Safari

By the time you complete your adventure activities, the sun would have started to set, engulfing the sand dunes in a golden glow. This is the best time for you to soak in the display of changing hues on the desert skies and capture some mind-blowing pictures. As the sun sets, you are driven to the campsite for a Bedouin lifestyle experience and BBQ dinner with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine options.

Campsite Experiences

At the Bedouin-style campsite, you are welcomed with a cup of Arabian coffee. Dubai Desert Safari Tours ensures that mineral water and soft drinks are available to you not only at the campsite but also throughout the safari. The activities at the campsite that give you a clear idea as to how the Arabs lived in the desert in the past include hookah smoking, henna painting on the hands and feet, and taking photographs wearing Arabic costumes. You can also shoot pictures holding a falcon.

As you enjoy your scrumptious BBQ dinner, top-class artists entertain you by performing world-renowned dances such as belly dance, tanoura dance, and fire dance.

Whether you are looking for a solo adventure or a group excursion, camel trekking with overnight camping during the desert safari dubai tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the beauty and tranquility of the desert landscape.

Explore the Arabian Desert with a Nighttime Camel Expedition

The thrill of camel trekking with overnight camping.

Camel trekking is a traditional mode of transportation in the desert that has been used for centuries by nomadic tribes. Riding a camel through the desert allows you to experience the landscape from a different perspective and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the animal’s movements. The gentle swaying of the camel as it walks across the sandy terrain is a soothing and calming experience that can help you unwind and relax.

Witnessing the Breathtaking Desert Sunset

One of the highlights of camel trekking and overnight camping in the desert is the opportunity to witness a breathtaking desert sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky is painted in a myriad of colors, creating a stunning visual display that is truly awe-inspiring. Sitting atop a camel as you watch the sunset is a magical experience that will stay with you long after you have returned home.

Camping under the Stars

After a day of camel trekking, you will have the chance to set up camp in the desert and spend the night under the stars. Sleeping in a traditional Bedouin tent or simply under the open sky allows you to connect with nature in a way that is impossible in the city. The silence of the desert at night is a stark contrast to the noise and chaos of urban life, making it the perfect setting for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep.

Cultural Immersion

Camel trekking with overnight camping during desert safari dubai tour also offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions of the desert dwellers. You will have the chance to interact with Bedouin tribes and learn about their way of life, as well as sample traditional cuisine and music. This cultural exchange can be a enriching and enlightening experience that will broaden your horizons and deepen your appreciation for different ways of life.

Connecting with Nature

Above all, camel trekking and overnight camping in the desert allows you to forge a deep connection with nature and appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world. As you traverse the desert on the back of a camel, you will be surrounded by vast expanses of sand dunes, rugged mountains, and endless skies, reminding you of the power and majesty of the Earth. This connection with nature can be a transformative experience that inspires introspection and reflection.

Sharjah creates a 'la African Safari' in the Desert and its commitment to nature shines at Al Noor Island, writes Gyaneshwar Dayal

Sharjah, a jewel in the crown of the United Arab Emirates, boasts a captivating terrain that marries the charm of golden deserts with the allure of pristine coastlines along the Arabian Gulf. The landscape is punctuated by rolling sand dunes, tranquil oases, and rugged mountains that rise in the eastern region, creating a picturesque backdrop to its vibrant cityscape. Sharjah's climate is characterized by its arid nature, with hot summers that see temperatures soar, and mild, pleasant winters that offer a refreshing respite. The gentle coastal breeze, coupled with the serene desert air, weaves a unique atmospheric tapestry, making Sharjah a place of both stark beauty and subtle elegance. However, it lacks the lush green vegetation and abundance found in tropical climates. Yet, this absence is masterfully compensated by human ingenuity, as nature is carefully crafted and enhanced through thoughtful intervention.

Sharjah has been a beacon of cultural heritage in the region. However, not many people know its commitment towards nature. In fact, it has one of the rarest treats around the world to showcase which has never tried elsewhere on the large scale. Sharjah's commitment to preserving nature and promoting biodiversity is exemplified through its innovative projects, notably creating Serengeti and Sawana in the heart of the desert and organising the African Safari in the desert. As if that was not enough it also has a full-on nature conservation project at in Al Noor Island which hosts thousands of species of plants and birds and has a unique Butterfly House. These initiatives reflect Sharjah's dedication to balancing development with sustainability and fostering a deep respect for the natural world.

A 'la African Safari' in the Desert

Sharjah's African Safari, set against the backdrop of the Arabian Desert, is a testament to the emirate's vision of creating unique and sustainable tourism experiences. This ambitious project recreates the diverse ecosystems of Africa, providing a sanctuary for a wide range of species in an environment that mirrors their natural habitats.

The African Safari in Sharjah is not just a tourist attraction; it is a conservation effort aimed at protecting endangered species and educating the public about wildlife and ecosystems. The park hosts animals such as giraffes, zebras, elephants and various species of antelope, living in conditions that closely resemble their native habitats. This approach ensures that the animals can exhibit natural behaviours, contributing to their well-being and offering visitors an authentic experience.

Sharjah's African Safari employs sustainable practices to minimise its environmental footprint. This includes the use of renewable energy sources, water conservation techniques, and eco-friendly infrastructure. The park also engages in breeding programs for endangered species, playing a crucial role in global conservation efforts. By fostering a connection between visitors and wildlife, the safari park encourages a greater appreciation for the natural world and the importance of its preservation.

Al Noor Island: Where serenity and art come together

Nestled in the heart of Khalid Lagoon, Al Noor Island is a testament to Sharjah's vision of blending nature, art, and culture. Since its opening in 2015, this picturesque island has become a beloved destination for both locals and tourists, offering a serene escape and a feast for the senses. Al Noor Island is more than just a park; it is an embodiment of Sharjah's commitment to enhancing the quality of life through innovative public spaces that foster a connection with nature and the arts.

Al Noor Island spans 45,470 square meters and is adorned with a rich variety of flora, creating a verdant oasis in the middle of the city. The island's landscaping features over 70,000 plants and trees from around the world, carefully curated to thrive in the local climate. This lush greenery provides a habitat for diverse wildlife, including numerous bird species that find sanctuary on the island. The meticulously maintained gardens offer visitors a tranquil environment to unwind and connect with nature.

The Butterfly House

One of the island's crown jewels is the Butterfly House, an architectural marvel that houses over 500 exotic butterflies. The structure itself, designed with intricate latticework inspired by Islamic art, is a sight to behold. Inside, the climate-controlled environment mimics tropical conditions, allowing butterflies to flourish year-round. Visitors can walk among the butterflies, witnessing their delicate beauty up close and learning about their life cycles and ecological importance. The Butterfly House is not only a visual delight but also an educational experience, emphasizing the significance of conservation.

Art Installations and Sculptures

Al Noor Island is dotted with stunning art installations and sculptures, seamlessly integrating art with nature. These pieces, created by renowned artists from around the world, add a layer of cultural richness to the island. Notable installations include the "OVO" art sculpture, a glowing egg-shaped structure that symbolizes rebirth and renewal, and the "Torus" sculpture by David Harber, which captures the interplay of light and shadow.

The island caters to visitors of all ages with its well-designed children's playground and exercise facilities. The playground is equipped with safe, modern equipment that encourages imaginative play, while the exercise stations offer adults a chance to stay active in a scenic setting.

Night  Illumination

As the sun sets, Al Noor Island transforms into a magical landscape illuminated by artistic lighting. The island's pathways and installations glow with soft, colourful lights, creating an enchanting atmosphere. This nighttime transformation offers a unique experience, making evening visits to the island particularly memorable.

Al Noor Island exemplifies Sharjah's dedication to sustainability and environmental preservation. The island employs eco-friendly practices, such as using solar energy for lighting and maintaining a commitment to water conservation. These efforts ensure that the island remains a green and sustainable haven for future generations.

Al Noor Island also plays a vital role in community engagement and education. It regularly hosts workshops, guided tours, and cultural events that promote environmental awareness and appreciation for the arts. These programs aim to foster a sense of responsibility and connection to the natural world among visitors.

Al Noor Island as its African safari is a shining example of Sharjah's innovative approach to nature conservation with cultural enrichment. This serene oasis offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, inviting visitors to explore its lush landscapes, admire its art installations, and engage with its diverse flora and fauna. Through Al Noor Island, Sharjah demonstrates its commitment to creating spaces that nurture the soul, inspire the mind, and promote a sustainable future. Whether you're a nature lover, art enthusiast, or simply seeking peace and tranquillity, Al Noor Island is a destination that promises to captivate and inspire.
