Escape to the Golden Sands
Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your Dubai hotel. As you leave the urban skyline behind, the vast expanse of the Arabian desert beckons.

Evening Entertainment & BBQ Dinner
At the heart of the desert lies your next destination: a beautifully set-up Bedouin-style camp. Here, the cultural immersion begins. As you settle in, be welcomed with traditional Arabic coffee (Gahwa) and dates—a gesture of genuine Emirati hospitality.
Then, feast on a scrumptious BBQ buffet dinner under the stars. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are available, along with wine and soft drinks. But the real treat? The entertainment.
Live Shows Include:
- Mesmerizing Belly Dance performances
- Whirling Tanoura Dance showcasing Sufi traditions
