Dubai, a city known for its glitz and modern marvels, offers a surprising contrast to its urban landscape: the vast and stunning Arabian Desert! For those seeking thrills and a taste of traditional Bedouin life, a desert safari is an absolute must. Here are some of the best activities that await.
Dune Bashing
Strap in for an adrenaline-pumping adventure as you embark on a dune bashing excursion! Expert drivers will take you on a thrilling ride in 4X4 vehicles, up and down the dunes and through the desert, leaving you with an extraordinary experience. Head off on such safaris from city properties like Avani Deira Dubai Hotel and discover the raw power and beauty of this sea of sand.
Quad Biking
Unleash your inner adventurer as you get behind the handlebars of your very own quad bike and explore the desert terrain at your own pace! Feel the thrill of navigating through the sandy expanses, enjoying the wind in your hair, and experiencing the freedom of the open desert. Such exhilarating activities combined with more laidback things to do in Deira, Dubai, make for a truly rewarding getaway.
Camel Riding
Gain insights into the traditional Bedouin way of life by embarking on a journey through the desert on the back of a camel. Saddle up and set off across the dunes, taking in the breathtaking scenery amidst the sublime tranquillity of the surroundings. At sunset, witness a spellbinding spectacle as the sky is painted with fiery hues, setting the landscape aglow with an ethereal beauty.
Dining Under the Stars
End your desert safari with an unforgettable experience at a Bedouin-style camp. Have traditional henna designs painted on your hand before getting ready to indulge in a delicious feast of Middle Eastern cuisine. As night falls and you dine under a canopy of stars, you can also watch mesmerising belly dancing performances, creating a truly magical atmosphere.
