Overnight Desert Camping in Dubai with Safari & Sunrise
A night safari, camp dinner and sunrise in the Dubai desert
About the Overnight Desert Safari
Our overnight desert camping in Dubai combines a full evening desert safari with a night at the Sahara Dune Adventures desert camp: dune bashing, a camel ride, BBQ dinner and shows, then stargazing, a campfire and a night in a Bedouin-style tent. You wake up for the desert sunrise and an Arabic breakfast.
Wake to the most beautiful desert sunrise you have ever seen, breathe the cool morning desert air and enjoy a freshly prepared Arabic breakfast before heading home. This is the experience that stays with you forever.
Our Desert Camp: Tents and Facilities
After the evening programme, the camp quiets down. You gather around the campfire, our guide shows you how to find your way by the stars of the Arabian sky, and you sleep in a Bedouin-style tent. The camp is lit by lanterns and the fire, so the stars stay bright.
Power points are limited, so bring a power bank. Bedding for cold winter nights is not included: a light sleeping bag is recommended from October to March.
Private Overnight Desert Camping
Want the desert to yourselves? Ask us about a private tent or a private camp setup for your family or group. It is popular for couples, proposals, birthdays and corporate groups. Price on request: message us on WhatsApp.
