A desert safari is something you can’t duplicate without the main ingredient, the desert. The Dubai Desert Safari has plenty of that and a day full of dune riding in the desert to give you all the thrills and spills of the desert rallies you’ve seen on TV. Your English speaking drivers and guides will make sure you enjoy everything the desert has to offer and it offers a lot when you command the right of way and come screaming over the top of a sand dune getting almost airborne in the process.

However if your taste are more toward traditional desert forms of transportation, then your Dubai Desert Safari guide will hook you up with a dromedary camel of similar temperament.

Now matter how you accumulate the sand in your shoes, you’ll be able to relax and dump it out when you get to the authentic Bedouin campsite and break bread with your Arabian hosts in their traditional setting. You’ll feast on BBQ and other local specialty dishes while watching belly dancing right in front of your dinning table.

Talent female belly dancers will ask you to change into traditional Bedouin wear and join in, but most who don a costume usually settle for a picture or two in this traditional Arabian garb while smoking a little local tobacco in a giant hooka water pipe.
