A desert safari in Dubai is an excellent way to familiarize with the unique attributes of a desert environ. The vast stretches of wavy sand dunes produce an uninterrupted breathtaking panorama of a sea of sand draping in golden sandy brown tones.
A 45 minute ride will take the visitors away from the bustling Dubai City teeming with skyscrapers, into the tranquil desert area in a luxury off road vehicle. For the ones who prefer thrill and excitement, the desert style roller coaster ride will certainly become a fun filled memorable experience. Once reaching the desert, the off road vehicle will be driven at full throttle, soaring up and swooping down along the sand dunes, while splashing clouds of ruddy sand in every direction.
After the exciting ride, the visitors can recline on the warm desert sand and capture a classic desert sunset, painting a palette of warm colour spectrum on the heavens near the horizon. A group of camels and camel drivers next await the visitors for a pleasant sightseeing camel ride. A traditional touch is added to the desert safaris in Dubai, complemented with a bonfire where visitors can savour delectable Arabian barbecue in traditional tableware while sitting on majlis (a place of sitting with carpets and cushions) inside Bedouin tents. For a more cultural experience, visitors can get dressed up in traditional Bedouin attires and wear temporary yet beautiful henna tattoos as well. The safari nights will be spiced with entertainment accompanied by traditional dancing and music.
By staying at a hotel such as Shangri-La Hotel Dubai, visitors can join the night desert safaris in Dubai, and become engrossed in the beauty of the night skies teeming with twinkling stars, unspoilt from the glare of the neon lights of the Dubai City.
