Abu Dhabi Desert Safari

Discover the magic of Abu Dhabi’s Golden Sands with Desert Heritage’s authentic evening desert safari. Enjoy thrilling dune bashing, serene camel rides, cultural entertainment, and a delicious BBQ dinner.

Overview

Step into the heart of Arabia with our unforgettable Desert Safari Abu Dhabi, a signature experience that blends adventure, culture, and authentic hospitality. Known as one of the most exciting things to do in the UAE, this evening desert safari lets you discover the golden dunes, rich traditions, and vibrant entertainment that define Abu Dhabi’s desert life. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline-filled activity like dune bashing, a serene camel ride, or a BBQ buffet dinner under the stars, our safari offers the perfect mix of thrill and relaxation for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

Your journey begins with a seamless pick-up from your hotel or residence in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. As we drive towards the desert, you’ll watch the city fade away and the open landscape unfold into endless golden sands. On arrival, get ready for a heart-racing 4x4 dune bashing experience across the towering dunes, a must-try adventure in Abu Dhabi. Our professional drivers navigate the rolling sands with skill, creating an exhilarating ride that will leave you breathless yet delighted. For photography lovers, we stop at the highest dunes to capture the dramatic scenery of the Arabian desert at sunset, one of the most beautiful sights in the UAE.

After the thrill of dune bashing, slow the pace and enjoy a traditional camel trekking experience. Riding a camel across the desert gives you a sense of how Bedouins once traveled, allowing you to appreciate the desert’s silence and beauty. Guests can also try sandboarding, gliding down the soft slopes of the dunes, or opt for an ATV/quad bike ride for even more excitement (available as an upgrade). Our Desert Safari Abu Dhabi packages are designed to suit all ages, making it a safe and enjoyable adventure for children, adults, and elderly travelers alike.

As the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll be welcomed into our authentic Bedouin-style desert camp. Here, the atmosphere becomes warm and inviting, with traditional Arabic dΓ©cor, soft seating, and flickering lanterns creating a magical setting. Enjoy Arabic coffee, dates, and unlimited soft drinks as you relax after your activities. Guests can also dress up in traditional Emirati attire for photos, get beautiful henna designs, or browse small craft displays showcasing local artistry. This cultural touch adds depth to your safari experience, giving you a glimpse of the UAE’s heritage beyond the skyscrapers and shopping malls.

One of the highlights of our Desert Safari Abu Dhabi is the vibrant live entertainment that takes place under the starlit sky. As you unwind, enjoy an evening of performances including the mesmerizing Tanoura dance, dazzling fire shows, and graceful belly dancing by skilled artists. These performances bring the spirit of Arabian nights to life and are a favorite part of the evening for many visitors. Our camp also includes a designated area for shisha smoking for those who wish to enjoy a traditional pastime in the desert atmosphere.

When it’s time for dinner, feast on a generous BBQ buffet featuring both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Savor freshly grilled meats, aromatic rice dishes, salads, and traditional Arabic sweets prepared to perfection. Dining outdoors under the stars, surrounded by the tranquility of the desert, is an experience you’ll never forget. Our attentive staff ensure everything runs smoothly, from serving meals to making sure you’re comfortable and having fun throughout the evening.

Our Evening Desert Safari Abu Dhabi is more than just an activity; it’s an immersive journey into the UAE’s natural beauty and cultural traditions. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning for another adventure, the desert’s ever-changing colors and experiences make each safari unique.
