Explore The Dubai Desert In True Bedouin Style

A Camel Desert Safari is the most traditional way to explore the Dubai desert. Traverse the desert on a traditional camel convoy and experience why nomadic Bedouin relied on these endearing animals, known as the ships of the sea. We follow strict animal welfare guidelines and only offer ethical Camel Safaris in Dubai.

Your 45-minute journey through the desert traces the footsteps of Bedouin travellers and leads you to a falcon show in the desert dunes. Experience a significant part of Emirati culture at a professional falcon show. 

Spend the evening in a scene of Dubai as it was in the 1950s. Soak up the culture with fascinating activities like henna painting, live Arabic bread and coffee making and traditional performances, in our traditionally built Bedouin camp. Feast on a 4-course dinner of Arabic cuisine and revel in the magic of this unique setting in the desert under the stars.
