Overview

Welcome to the Private Full-Day Desert Safari Dubai – a fully personalized experience that gives you the best of all three worlds: the thrill of the Morning Desert Safari, the festive charm of the Evening Desert Safari, and the peace of an Overnight Desert Safari stay under the stars. This isn’t just a tour – it’s your private desert kingdom for a day and night.

Start your morning with adrenaline-fueled dune bashing, enjoy a peaceful camel ride, and take incredible sunrise photos. As the sun climbs higher, engage in sandboarding or quad biking at your own pace.

By evening, shift gears into a world of Arabian hospitality: live shows, BBQ dinner, henna painting, and more. And when the desert falls silent under the stars, unwind in your private camp, with cozy bedding, traditional tea, and a front-row view of the sunrise the next morning. This is the most complete and private desert safari Dubai has to offer – designed for couples, families, and small groups who want it all, in peace.

Full Description

Morning Adventure

Your day begins with a private pickup in a luxury 4×4 vehicle. Heading into the Lahbab Desert, you’ll catch the desert at its most peaceful hour. The golden dunes await. Feel the rush with high-speed dune bashing, then slow things down with a camel ride across glowing sands. Want more adrenaline? Try sandboarding or upgrade with a quad bike.

Midday Calm

Unlike shared tours, you set the pace. Pause, rest, take photos, or just soak in the silence. With a guide dedicated only to you, there’s no crowd, no rush — just comfort and freedom.

Evening Culture & Celebration

As the sun dips, arrive at your private campsite. Sip on Arabic tea, snap falcon photos, and enjoy cultural experiences like henna tattoos and shisha. The camp comes alive with live entertainment — belly dancing, Tanoura whirls, and a fiery finale that lights up the night.

BBQ Dinner & Desert Night

Dine under the stars with a lavish BBQ buffet (veg and non-veg) while live performances keep the vibe festive. When the night winds down, retreat to your private tent, pre-arranged with bedding and essentials.

Overnight Stay & Sunrise Moments

The desert is a different world at night — calm, silent, and deeply refreshing. Wake up to the golden glow of sunrise, sip fresh tea, and enjoy a hearty breakfast before your short wildlife safari. You might spot Arabian gazelles or even the elusive oryx before heading back to the city.
