Overnight Desert Safari with Stone Dwelling Stay

Spend a full evening and a night in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, far from the lights of the city. The afternoon starts with a 60-minute nature drive in a vintage 1950s Land Rover, or a slow camel caravan across the dunes, with a Conservation Guide who explains how plants, animals and the Bedouin survive in the desert.

After a falconry show at sunset you arrive at a torch-lit Bedouin camp for dinner and Emirati entertainment. When the camp goes quiet, you sleep in a traditional stone dwelling room under a sky full of stars, and wake up to a gourmet breakfast before the transfer back to Dubai.

What to expect

• Nature drive or camel caravan: 60 minutes through the reserve in a vintage Land Rover, or the same journey by camel, with a Conservation Guide.
• Sunset falconry: a live falcon display against the desert sunset.
• Bedouin camp: Arabic coffee and dates on arrival, live bread and coffee making, camel rides, henna and shisha.
• Four-course Emirati dinner: shared starters and traditional mains, with drumming and Yola performances you can join.
• Night in a stone dwelling: a simple, quiet room with a comfortable bed; the camp power goes off from 23:00 to 06:00.
• Gourmet breakfast: breakfast at the camp, then the return to Dubai between 09:00 and 10:00.

Perfect for

• Couples: a peaceful night away from the city, with stargazing and no noise.
• Families: children aged 5-11 pay the child rate, and the activities are gentle and educational.
