Overview
Spend a night in the heart of the Arabian desert and experience the peaceful charm of the golden dunes under a sky full of stars. Our Overnight Desert Safari blends adventure, culture, relaxation, and true desert hospitality for a memorable experience.
Your journey begins with comfortable pickup from your hotel in Abu Dhabi. From there, our expert driver will take you on a thrilling dune bashing ride, gliding up and down the rolling desert dunes.
We’ll visit a camel farm, where you can see these gentle desert animals up close and capture photos with the beautiful desert backdrop. A photo stop on the dunes allows you to enjoy and photograph the wide-open desert landscape.
At the camp, you’ll get a taste of traditional desert life. Enjoy a short camel ride, try sandboarding, get a henna design, and even dress in traditional Arabian attire for unique photos.
As evening arrives, relax under the sunset and enjoy a BBQ dinner buffet, followed by live entertainment, such as:
- Belly dance performance (not available during Ramadan)
- Tanoura dance show
- Fire show
- Optional shisha in the lounge area
Later, join a stargazing moment to admire the clear desert sky. Then settle into your cozy overnight tent, complete with pillows and blankets, and sleep to the calming silence of the desert.
In the morning, wake up to the gentle desert sunrise and enjoy a light breakfast before we drop you back to your hotel in Abu Dhabi.
This Overnight Desert Safari offers a blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation — a memory you’ll carry with you long after the desert sunrise.
