Highlights

A vital part of caravan-based trade was the caravanserai – small settlements built in the desert to act as resting stops for traders and travelers passing along the established trade routes. These settlements meant that people could travel greater distances and trade more freely.

Take the unique opportunity to see our stunningly recreated Caravanserai with a modern luxury twist, in an authentic desert setting. After your hotel pickup, enjoy a scenic drive in a private air-conditioned vehicle and continue to the Caravanserai camp for the evening’s entertainment.

Enjoy traditional Arabian activities such as henna art, palm reading, camel riding, falcon interaction and browse at the traditional souq. Savor a delicious luxury banquet with live BBQ stations, and lounge on cushions to enjoy various different entertainment acts, many of which are traditional to the region, such as belly dancing, Tanura dancing and a daring fire show under the desert stars.

Additional Information

Caravanserais played an essential role in the trading business that operated on the caravan trade routes. They functioned as desert outpost for travelers and traders, facilitating long-distance trading and travel.

We offer you a unique chance to witness a breathtaking reconstruction of a Caravanserai, complete with a touch of modern luxury set within a genuine desert environment. Following a pickup from your hotel, the scene shifts to a pleasing drive in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, leading to the Caravanserai camp and the evening’s entertainment lineup.

Experience a variety of traditional Arabian activities on offer, including henna tattooing, palmistry, camel rides, and falcon interactions, all created within a conventional souq. Indulge in a gourmet feast with in-demand BBQ stands, and unwind on cushions to relish a line-up of entertaining acts – many native to the region, including belly dancing, Tanura dancing and daredevil fire shows performed under the sweeping desert sky.

Great affordable experience (including for small child) - We wanted to do a tour that would be suitable to our toddler (almost 3 years old), and we looked for many alternatives, most of them very expensive... talking to a friend who lives in Dubai, he mentioned that most of the companies do similar tour anyway. So we tried to book this tour based on the more affordable price, and we were totally happy with that! Super nice driver, very good dinner, shows, etc. Of course they come to offer you things that are not included (alcohol drinks, shisha, etc.) but not in an annoying way at all. We all enjoyed a lot!

Dubai Desert Safari - We had a wonderful Desert Safari experience with Aslam as our tour guide. He picked up us from our hotel on time and was very professional in his work. We loved every bit of the Safari trip right from Sand bashing to Food and the live shows. Would like to mention the name of Ms.Marjie too who was the supervisor at the show and dinner site. S

Dive into Arabian night - The driver picked only two of us from the hotel on time, and the car was super clean. It was a one-hour drive with traditional music and lots of fun along the way. Upon arrival, we immersed ourselves in authentic Arabic night experiences. The sunset was incredible, and the people were welcoming. We enjoyed a camel ride (even took a camel selfie), a horse ride, henna tattoo, a traditional dinner, great shows, and a fantastic atmosphere. We are extremely satisfied with our choice of this tour.

OK choice for desert experience - Overall, it was a good experience, but not great. Transportation was excellent, food was good, entertainment was very good, however, the experience when we arrived seemed a bit commercial and not super authentic, but maybe it was because it was not too far from Dubai to be in a more remote desert setting. Not sure we would choose this one again, but we had an ok evening.

Desert and flies - The dancers were fantastic. The food would have been terrific ( there was heaps of choice) but absolutely covered in flies. If covers had been provided would have made it so much safer. It spoiled a good night

Touristy but great for kids - The children loved it. I’ve been to others and this one felt short and quite rushed. Although a lot is free, there are still annoying sellers there trying to get you to buy stuff. Plus there are waiters for the tables trying to get you to buy alcohol. Ours asked us every 5 mins even though we didn’t want any, and at the end made a comment about us not getting drinks and him not getting a tip! But as I said, the children thought it was magical and that’s the most important thing. They rode the camels over and over again, got henna tattoos, helped make sand art, and danced away in the background when the show was on.

Not really worth it. - The booking process was fairly simple and closer to the date I was informed that we had been upgraded to a different venue (I forget the name). The layout and atmosphere is lovely. The food was mediocre at best. The kebab and other Arabic food you would assume to be full of flavour was bland and dry. The biriyani was bland and all in all for the money spent the buffet was not worth it. The entertainment was not to my expectation - The belly dancer did not perform much in terms of actual belly dancing but did whip her hair back and forth for a considerable amount of time. The gents spinning is truly and incredible sight as it is continuous for a period of 10 or 15 minutes. I would fall flat on my face after 30 seconds. But it does get a little boring after the first 5 minutes. The entertainment I enjoyed most was the fire show. They were very entertaining right throughout their performance. The driver who took us to the venue said that we had to leave at 9pm and the entertainment was still on going so we had no opportunity to see the show in full. Which was disappointing considering we paid for it, but we were not going to risk being left behind in a place that was over 1 hr away from our hotel. Over all there was very little to speak of in a positive light.
