A small group city tour of Dubai combined with an afternoon Desert Safari packs quite some value for bucks. Start the morning sightseeing in Dubai discovering the top attractions such as the Burj Al-Arab, Jumeirah Mosque, and Gold Souk then along the busy Sheikh Zayed highway for photos of truly unique architectural buildings – Museum of the Future ( pass by) and Dubai Frame ( pass by). Reaching the historic district of Al Bastakiya in old Dubai, make a brief stop at the 18th century Al Fahidi Fort followed by a short Abra (water taxi) sailing across Dubai Creek. Then enjoy an afternoon in the Dubai desert on safari including a camel ride, sandboard session, and sunset mesmerizing Tanoura traditional folk dance followed by an enthralling fire blower show. Take a break and enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner. Later a tantalizing belly dance performed under the starlit sky brings the evening to a close.

    Dubai Desert Tours

    Leave your central Dubai hotel in the afternoon by comfortable 4x4 and relax as you cruise into the surrounding desert. Observe a thrilling Falcon show to learn about the hunting skills of UAE’s national bird. On route, visit a camel farm. View these hardy herbivores in their natural environment, and learn why they make perfect desert transport. Then, if you wish, take a short camel ride around the enclosures. Continue to an area of high dunes and try some sandboarding — the hottest of desert sports. Get instructions from your guide, grab a provided sandboard, and feel your adrenaline race as you slide down the dunes and race your fellow travelers on the sandy slopes. With your sandboarding over, drive to a desert campsite for dinner. Sit down to a scrumptious barbecue meal as the sun sets and afterward, enjoy the traditional Emirati activities on offer. Watch a swirling tanoura folk dance and choose to get a henna tattoo and smoke a shisha (Arabian water pipe). Lastly, sit around the campfire and watch a colorful belly dancing show before your drive back to your Dubai hotel.
