Description

Combo Safari in Dubai

Start your Overnight Safari Dubai with a pickup from your Dubai hotel to travel into the desert.

Overnight Safari Dubai & Sunrise Balloon Ride

Travel into the desert aboard your open-roof vintage Land Rover, a mode of transport used extensively in 1950’s desert expeditions. As you travel, listen to your Conservation Guide’s stories about Dubai’s past and present, as well as the many customs and traditions that you’ll experience throughout the evening.

Vintage Land Rover Desert Safari and Overnight Camping in Dubai

• Arrive at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve to receive your Adventure Pack and put on your Sheila/Ghutra (traditional headscarf)
• wildlife drive through Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve in an open-top vintage Land Rover
• Enjoy a sunset falcon show with sparkling juice
• live bread-making, Arabic coffee-making, camel rides, and aromatic shisha pipes
• Dinner includes soup, salad, appetizer, main course, and dessert
• Enjoy cultural Emirati entertainment performances such as drumming and Yola
• Sleep in a traditional Arabic stone dwelling with a mattress and bedding

Enjoy a Falcon Show in the Desert

Pose in the sand dunes for a photo as the sun goes down and watch the UAE’s national bird – the falcon – during a falconry display. Make your way past the gently flickering flames from the lights that mark the entranceway to your authentic Bedouin Camp, and then hop out of your Land Rover to take a seat at your shared table.

Before your meal starts, a range of cultural activities is demonstrated. Enjoy an Arabic coffee and sit back to watch dancers performing to traditional Emirati music, or perhaps get a henna tattoo, smoke a shisha pipe (Arabic water pipe), or even try the traditional mode of Bedouin transport — a camel. Then, all that’s left to do is to feast on your 4-course dinner under the stars. Like the activities at the camp, the dishes are mostly traditional Emirati specialities, combining flavours from the Middle East.

After your meal, sit around the bonfire and gaze up at the stars, try shisha if you like, and then make your way to your Arabic stone dwelling — complete with a comfortable mattress, pillows, and blanket — nestled inside the camp. Settle in and enjoy sleeping overnight in the heart of the desert!

Air Balloon Ride in the early morning of your 2. Day

As you are only minutes from the Hot Air Balloon take-off site you can wake up later than passengers coming from Dubai. Once you arrive you will receive a safety briefing before climbing inside the balloon basket with the world’s most experienced Hot Air Balloon Company, Balloon Adventures Dubai. Feel your adrenaline race as your balloon drifts gently upward.

As you rise higher, marvel at the awesome sunrise views, and hear interesting commentary from your pilot about the geology and wildlife of the protected Dubai Desert Conservation Reservation while you watch for roaming animals such as gazelles and camels.

After your approximately 1-hour flight, enjoy a smooth touchdown controlled by your pilot and step back onto solid ground.

If you wish, buy a professional video of your flight (own expense) so you can relive the experience at home. You will be driven to a private desert conservation reserve where you will have the chance to freshen up in clean, private bathrooms. Breakfast will be a scrumptious selection of delicacies such as hand-cut smoked salmon and caviar.

The Overnight Safari Dubai combined with a Balloon Ride is the perfect way to experience the Dubai Desert!
