Highlights
  • Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Margham gate - Are you ready to leave the buzzing city behind and spend an action-packed afternoon in the magical desert? Then this Evening Desert Safari is your answer.

As your knowledgeable and equally amusing guide picks you up from your hotel, you’re in for the ultimate desert adventure. Feel the thrills as your skilled driver climbs over steep dunes during an exhilarating dune drive, and spot local wildlife on your fun-filled ride. Catch a mesmerising sunset in a picturesque setting as you feel one with the nature.

Your journey continues to our beautiful Bedouin-style campsite where you can go for a short camel ride and try out sandboarding. Before sitting down for dinner, explore the boutiques and souvenir shops and get a Henna tattoo to help make the memories last longer.

Once you’ve settled in for a 3-course buffet-style dinner along with unlimited soft drinks, it’s time for some spectacular entertainment. Be awed as the belly dancer (except during Ramadan and religious holidays), tanoura dancer and fire dancer take the stage one by one.

Your one-of-a-kind adventure concludes with a drive back to your hotel.

Best activity in Dubai - A desert safari was at the top of our list, and Arabian Adventures really delivered. Everything was well organized, the sun set was a wonderful experience and the dinner and shows were great. Oh yes, and the ride in the dunes was awesome. And special thanks to Arjun, our driver and host. He took really good care of us

Brilliant Evening - I had been looking forward to this trip for so long, our driver Osman was brilliant and the other couple we shared our vehicle with were great fun. However during the Sand Dunes fast ride I became rather unwell. Osman was nothing less than totally professional and looked after me, whilst assisting the other guests. I was not really able to participate in much thereafter, but was able to watch the shows which were all of an excellent standard. Comments about the food were very positive and there was plenty of it. It was a shame that I was unable to participate fully, but my husband and other guests had all commentated what a lovely evening they had all enjoyed. When I return to Dubai later in the year, I would love to try again,but without the Dune Bashing!!

An evening in the desert - We didn’t know what to expect in reality and we were thrilled with the entire experience Hycent collected us from the hotel and took us up to the reserve. After a quick comfort break off we went into the dunes! No spoiler from me on what went on! After the drive we stopped for photos and the sunset….again great location and superb opportunity to catch your breath! A bar in the desert (chargeable) just 40 dhs for a beer or a spritz…complimentary soft drinks available too Then onto the camp for food, drink, dancers, fire show, camel ride, sand skiing, henna and shisha Simply amazing value for money, if you like a beer or wine get the upgrade which comes with all you can drink bar too! Dropped back at the hotel after, total experience was superb value for money….started at 4pm pick up and 11/30pm drop off! Thanks to Hycent and the Arabian adventures team! It was unbelievable 😀👍

A must for Dubai travelers - We had the best time in the desert, perfect service and wonderful experience. It takes 5 hours for an exciting safari, a rally over the dunes in a 4x4 vehicle, some wildlife spotting and a wonderful dinner in a desert camp. A special thank to our driver Nwar, he made our day.

Beautiful setting and Tour Guide Ismail excellent! - We’ve been to Dubai a few times but this is the first time we’ve done the desert safari. Have to say it was excellent, so much included for the price you pay so well worth the money. The views and setting itself are beautiful so you will take some incredible photos. We took our 2 small children and they loved every part of it - driving over the dunes, the camel ride, sand boarding, fire show, belly dancing…Special thanks and mention to our tour guide Ismail who was very attentive the whole experience and happy to answer the 101 questions we asked! He was extremely knowledgeable about the desert and Dubai in general, and made us feel completely at ease all evening. He made it feel like we were out with a good friend :) Highly recommend!!
