Full description

Visit an oasis in the desert close to Dubai city and go driving over the dunes in an SUV. Experience Bedouin culture after with traditional coffee and more, then savor a BBQ buffet.

After pickup in Dubai, head to the Masayaf Desert Camp. Once there, enjoy driving in 4-wheel SUVs through the desert for an exciting 20 minutes or so, going up and down the dunes, skidding, sliding, and bashing these majestic giants.  Next, visit the camp for a taste of a traditional experience of the Bedouin culture. The camp itself is a premium ethnic Bedouin camp with a rustic and original look and feel that endeavours to offer you tradition without compromising on quality and authenticity.

Try a traditional Gahwa (traditional Arabic coffee on arrival) upon arrival, along with dates and refreshing wet towels. Tea is also available. Follow this with some native starters, which include shawarma and falafel.

Stroll around the camp and find a variety of activities, including a souvenir display stall, a henna tattoo corner, and a photo studio area where you can adorn traditional local dishdashas and abayas and get your photographs snapped

Have a camel ride and try your hand at falconry, or ride a quad bike for an additional charge. After you settle down, watch local entertainment, such as a mesmerizing tanoora dance, a daring fire show, and a spellbinding belly dancing show that promises alluring moves to enthralling music.

While taking a stroll around the camp or during the ongoing entertainment, you have a choice of quenching your thirst with soft drinks and water. Alternatively, head to the live bar to buy some spirits or beer at a charge. Later, taste a sumptuous three-course menu with fresh grills, hot freshly baked breads, a hot buffet, and desserts from the local kitchen, followed by fresh fruits. As the tour hosts bid farewell, a vehicle will drive you back to your hotel or destination.

Snoop Dessert Dawg (aka zeb) what a pleasure my family and I had with you. If you are doing an Arabian Safari with this company ask for zeb, our guide. He teaches you so much about Dubai and its culture. Zeb is a guide that goes far and beyond for his tours. He takes amazing photos and videos, he had us in stitches the whole day. No communication issues, his English is top notch and he is a professional shisha smoker / photographer /palm reader. He fit in with our family like a glove laughing and joking, he even gave us some of his homemade fruit salad. It was such amazingly tasty food (better than the desert offered at the buffet). The sand dune and the buffet was amazing, a variety of food and serves all. The entertainment was amazing and we took part in the henna and shisha smoking . The tour as a whole was definitely worth every penny. We have done sand duning twice in the dessert and Zeb has been by far the best driver. Music blasting and jamming all the way through. Thanks Zeb

The guide was very nice, the dune bashing fun but not overly scary so the driver got it just right. Trip was comfortable and good, camp part was nice though food not amazing. The trip was well organised, with good communication about pick up even though we booked very last minute, pick up was punctual.

Good experience - although the ATV riding was a bit of a waste of time as no one in our group was doing it and we just sat around for 45mins for no reason. Camel riding was literally about 10 feet - would have enjoyed longer. BBQ and dancing were great! I would also like to see less polysterene and plastic used at the BBQ.
