The Overnight Desert Safari lets you experience the desert after the day-trippers have gone, with a wonderful overnight Lahbab desert safari in Dubai that ends in an air-conditioned Bedouin tent. You are picked up from your accommodation, from centrally located hotels in Dubai or from meeting points in Sharjah, and head to the Lahbab desert in a comfortable 4WD vehicle.
Once in the desert, you will have some free time before your safari starts. Relax, or opt to go for a quad-bike ride while your vehicle for the off-road dune drive is prepared.
Then, embark on a thrilling 45-minute dune-bashing ride in a 4x4, with a sunset photo stop. Feel the adrenaline rush as your vehicle conquers the vast desert sands. Afterward, you can try sandboarding and glide down the dunes.
Travel to the Al Khayma camp where you will be led to your own air-conditioned tent. After settling in, you are welcomed with Gahwa (Arabic coffee), Gaymat (sweets) and dates. Head out for a camel ride around the camp premises.
Back at Al Khayma Camp, enjoy some time for smoking shisha and henna painting. Don local Arabian clothes and pose for photos with a majestic falcon.
Enjoy a lavish barbecue buffet dinner with Arabic sweets and fresh fruit, plus live entertainment: a belly dance (not offered during Ramadan), a fire show and a Tanoura dance show. Unlimited soft drinks, tea, coffee and mineral water are available.
When the camp lights are turned off, feel the essence and serenity of the desert while stargazing with a telescope.
Later, ride a camel to a nearby camp where a fire will be arranged for you. Learn how to make Arabic coffee or tea as you relax in the night sitting by the campfire, enjoying the silence of the desert and the dark sky above, before heading back to your tent for the night.
Instead of heading back after dinner, you stay overnight at the camp. Mattresses, pillows and blankets are provided, so you can wake up to a quiet morning in the dunes.
Rise early in the morning to catch the spectacular sunrise over the desert on a short camel ride. Afterward, return to the camp for a freshly prepared Arabian breakfast. Departure is at around 8:30 am the next day, heading back to Dubai with drop-off at your accommodation.
Quad bikes and sand skiing are available for an extra fee. It suits couples, friends and families who want more than a few hours in the sand.
