Desert Adventure Tours

You don't have to go very far to get to some of the UAE's undulating dune desert landscapes from Dubai's skyline of skyscrapers along the shore. Both the orange-hued dunes of Maleha (actually in the Emirate of Sharjah) and the dune fields and desert of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve are reachable by day trip from the city. Sandboarding, camel rides, 4WD safaris, traditional Arabian falconry performances, and desert dinners beneath the stars are just a few of the things that may be included in desert adventure excursions. Additionally, there are choices for spending the night camping outside.

A short vacation to Dubai may easily fit the normal tour schedule, which takes guests on a taste of desert life and lasts around six hours door to door with a mid-afternoon departure from the city. A camel ride, sandboarding instruction, a BBQ in the desert at dusk, and a belly dance performance are all included in the Dubai Desert 4x4 Safari, a half-day desert excursion. Choose a company that operates inside the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve for a less hurried tour experience. Trips there can include wildlife drives to see the reserve's wandering herds of gazelles and, if you're lucky, Arabian oryx.
