Classic Dubai desert safari with camel ride and BBQ dinner

4.6/5
76 reviews

This tour takes you to the desert of Dubai, driving across beautiful oceans of towering sand dunes. From the high dunes, you will witness the sunset as the sun sheds its blaze over enormous areas covered with sand. The hustle and bustle of the city is far away from the unrivalled silence and tranquillity around you. Mesmerized by the magnificent view, you pioneer into an enchanting Arabian night. After a challenging ride across the desert, you will reach our traditional Arabic camp, where a BBQ dinner is served in a torch-lit ambience giving for the bewitching belly dancer, who performs to rhythm of the captivating Arabic music under a galaxy of stars. As you relax on comfortable cushions in “Bedouin ” tents and quench your thirst, you will have your hands painted with intricate henna designs. You may also experience a short camel ride or just enjoy an aromatic shisha, whilst being out under the sky.

    Ein absolutes Muss bei einer Dubaireise. Wir waren eine Gruppe mit 7 Personen. Von der Abholung bis Rückfahrt war alles Top. Die optionale Quadfahrt ist ihr Geld wert. Die anschließende SUV Wüstenfahrt ein Highlight. Das Abendessen mit Getränken war sehr lecker....insgesamt war der Tag ein absolutes Highlight bei Allen.

    Der Fahrer war sehr nett. Leider hatte er die falsche Handynummer aus der Buchung übernommen, so das er sich nicht wie angekündigt über WhatsApp melden konnte. Dadurch warteten wir 1h in der Lobby. Das Erlebnis Wüste war toll. Das Camp Touristenabfertigung. Das BBQ war ok: leider kaum Fleisch. Wenn man mehr als ein Stückchen Hähnchen oder gar ein Stückchen Lamm dazu wollte, musste man schon energisch sein. Meine mit Stückchen wirklich klein. 50 Gramm oder so. Die Show war ok.

    Vores guide Samir var helt fantastisk! På vej hen til lejren fortalte han om Dubai og han kørte os lige forbi kamel væddeløbsbanen. Dunebuggierne (600 dirham for 2 per og 800 for 4 per) var lidt dyre, men prisen værd. Husk kontanter med derud, vi havde lidt problemer med at betalingen igennem på kort

    Uns hat der Ausflug sehr gefallen. Vor Ort konnten wir noch zusätzlich Quad und Buggys mieten, was wir auch sehr toll gefunden haben. Unsere Guide war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir können diesen Ausflug sehr empfehlen, auch für Teenager.

    Wir sind rundum zufrieden. Von den Kids bis zur Oma haben alle mal während der Fahrt durch die Dünen geschrien?? unser Guide Azeez macht seine Job mit voller Hingabe, das ist nicht nur strikt nach Ablauf. Wir wurden von allen Seiten verwöhnt, es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Es sind keine Fragen unbeantwortet geblieben. Vielen Dank dafür.
