Overnight Desert Safari

About

An overnight stay in the heart of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve brings you closer to the natural magic of the Dubai desert. On an Overnight Desert Safari, you will sleep under starry skies in a deluxe tent, have the opportunity to spot protected local wildlife from your tent’s terrace space, enjoy a full desert safari itinerary including a BBQ dinner in a traditional Bedouin-inspired setting, and awaken to the tranquil sound of the peaceful desert on this truly unique experience.

Full Description

The safari is set within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, in a secluded camp. The camp is set across two characterful spaces with 8 canvas safari tents, each with a comfortable double bed, private decking area, and a rustic desert charm. Individual toiletry amenities and shared bathroom facilities are also provided on site.

The Overnight Desert Safari experience includes a complimentary parking space for your vehicle, a BBQ dinner and cooked breakfast, and a variety of unique activities that will contribute to making your overnight stay a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

Beginning at the DDCR entrance, the Arabian Adventures team will be on hand to greet you and transfer you to your overnight camp. Upon check out, you are welcome to take a short tour of the Reserve’s visitors centre at your convenience or begin the journey home with unforgettable memories.

Included as part of the Overnight Desert Safari experience are activities including a camel ride on an Arabian Camel, a walking night safari by torch light followed by fireside marshmallows, and endless wildlife spotting opportunities throughout your time on safari. Every Overnight Desert Safari experience is inclusive of a soft drinks package for each guest.

If you are looking to further enhance your Overnight Desert Safari, there are additional add-on options available. We offer upgrades from soft to premium drinks packages, as well as transfer options to and from your hotel or residence. Transfer options also allow guests to avail extra activities including a morning wildlife drive and a 4x4 dune drive.
