About This Activity

Experience the magic of Dubai’s Al Marmoom Desert in a rare and elegant vintage car, an ideal blend of nostalgia and adventure. As the sun sets over the desert, you’ll journey across golden dunes, taking in the beauty of the expansive sands and the vibrant hues of the evening sky. This timeless ride offers a unique perspective on the natural wonders of the UAE’s desert landscape.

The safari continues as you arrive at the Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve, one of the largest and most pristine wildlife reserves in the region. This sanctuary is home to fascinating species such as Arabian oryx and desert gazelles, which roam freely in their natural habitat. A guided tour through the reserve allows you to witness the delicate balance of desert life while enjoying the serene and peaceful surroundings.

At the heart of the adventure is a visit to a traditional Bedouin-inspired camp, where you’ll experience the rich cultural heritage of the UAE. Relax in majlis-style seating and enjoy a warm Emirati welcome with freshly brewed Arabic coffee and dates. Engage in activities such as henna painting, falconry, and traditional music, all designed to immerse you in the traditions of Bedouin life.

As night falls, a lavish dinner under the stars awaits. Savor a variety of authentic dishes, including freshly grilled meats and aromatic Arabian specialties. The meal is complemented by live entertainment, featuring mesmerizing Tanoura dancing and soulful oud music. The combination of flavors, music, and the starry desert sky creates a truly magical atmosphere.

Before concluding your evening, take some time to stargaze in the tranquil desert, far from the lights of the city. With a telescope or the naked eye, the night sky over the Al Marmoom Desert reveals its stunning brilliance. This final moment of serenity caps off a day of cultural, natural, and culinary wonders, leaving you with memories to cherish forever.

Our Heritage Safari with Imran was fantastic! Everything was organized perfectly and went without a hitch. The tour matched the description, and we had a great time. Imran was friendly, answered all our questions, and kept the mood light. The dinner was tasty and generous. The camp had clean, modern toilets, and since all activities begin there, you can choose to skip any you want. Highly recommended!

This was an incredible experience, made even better by Eunice. The camel ride, safari, and shows were fantastic. Eunice kept us comfortable and engaged, and the team ensured my mom felt safe on her first camel ride. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful family day celebrating my husband’s birthday with guide Mr. Imran. The desert safari included seeing wildlife, fun on sand dunes, falcon and horse shows, a warm dinner with birthday cake, camel rides, fire show, and henna painting. It was an unforgettable six-hour experience full of great memories.

This experience went beyond what I expected. Babar personally came to pick me up, and I gained so much knowledge. He’s a very smart and compassionate guide who looked after us and kept the mood light with humor. He also took wonderful photos of us and safely returned us to the hotel. I highly recommend this tour. It was truly the best day of my life. Thank you, Babar!
