Overnight Lahbab Desert Safari Dubai: Luxury Bedouin Camping & Dune Adventure
Experience the magic of the Arabian nights with our premium overnight desert safari in Lahbab. This all-inclusive journey takes you from the bustling streets of Dubai to the iconic “Big Red” dunes, blending high-octane adventure with the serene tradition of a Bedouin camp.
The Ultimate Desert Adventure
Your journey begins with a comfortable 4WD pickup from your Dubai hotel. Upon reaching the Lahbab desert, the adrenaline kicks in. Prepare for a 45-minute dune bashing session led by expert drivers, followed by the chance to glide across the golden sands on a sandboard. For those seeking extra thrills, quad biking is available as an optional add-on during our preparation break.
Authentic Bedouin Hospitality at Al Khayma
As the sun begins to set, we arrive at the exclusive Al Khayma Camp. You’ll be welcomed with traditional Gahwa (Arabic coffee), dates, and local sweets. After settling into your private, air-conditioned Bedouin tent, immerse yourself in Emirati culture:
-
Camel Trekking: Wander the dunes the traditional way.
-
Cultural Activities: Try henna painting, smoke shisha, or dress in local Arabian attire.
-
Falconry: Capture the perfect memory with a majestic desert falcon.
A Night Under the Stars
As evening falls, feast on a lavish BBQ buffet dinner featuring authentic local and international dishes while enjoying live cultural performances. Once the camp lights dim, use our high-powered telescopes for a professional stargazing session in the clear desert sky.
The night continues with a camel ride to a secluded campfire. Here, you’ll learn the art of brewing traditional Arabic tea or coffee over an open flame, soaking in the profound silence of the desert before retiring to your AC tent.
Sunrise & Farewell
Wake up to a breathtaking desert sunrise and a final short camel trek. Enjoy a freshly prepared Arabian breakfast at the camp before your 4WD vehicle returns you comfortably to your accommodation in Dubai.
