family Desert Safari Dubai 
The family desert safari experience begins with a comfortable and convenient pick-up from your hotel in Dubai. Families are greeted by professional drivers who ensure a safe and enjoyable journey to the desert, where the adventure begins.
Dubai is a city known for its futuristic skyline, luxury shopping, and incredible experiences, but just beyond the hustle and bustle of the city lies a breathtaking world of golden sand dunes and timeless traditions. For families visiting Dubai, the Desert Safari is an unforgettable way to immerse yourselves in the beauty and culture of the UAE while enjoying an action-packed adventure designed for all ages. From thrilling dune bashing to traditional camel rides, cultural encounters, and a delightful evening under the stars, this experience brings the whole family together for a day full of memories.
The first stop on your desert adventure is dune bashing, a heart-racing activity that’s sure to excite everyone in the family. Strap in as your expert driver takes you on a wild ride across the undulating sand dunes in a powerful 4x4 vehicle. The exhilarating ride is both thrilling and fun, as the vehicle surges up and down the steep dunes, giving you the feeling of flying over the desert. Though the ride can be fast and exciting, rest assured that all vehicles are fully equipped with safety features, and the drivers are trained professionals who ensure safety without compromising on fun.
For families with young children or those seeking a more relaxed experience, we recommend opting for a private car. This allows you to enjoy a calm dune journey at a slower pace, offering a peaceful ride while taking in the stunning desert views without the excitement of high-speed dune bashing.
After the excitement of dune bashing, it’s time to slow things down with a camel ride—the traditional mode of desert travel. Camels, known as the "ships of the desert," are gentle and patient creatures, making them the perfect companions for a peaceful ride through the sandy dunes. As you take in the stunning desert landscape, your family will feel like they’ve stepped back in time to an era when Bedouins roamed the desert. This calm and serene activity is especially great for younger children, who’ll have a chance to bond with these majestic animals while enjoying the unique desert environment.
For families with older kids or teenagers looking for an adrenaline-packed adventure, sandboarding offers the perfect opportunity to glide down the vast sand dunes on a board, similar to snowboarding. Whether you’re a pro or a first-timer, sandboarding is easy to learn and incredibly fun. Family members of all ages can take turns speeding down the dunes or simply enjoy watching each other from the top. Sandboarding is one of those activities that will make you laugh, bond with family, and leave you with some amazing photos.
A desert safari is not just about thrills—it’s also about exploring the rich culture and heritage of the UAE. The experience is packed with opportunities to learn about local traditions and try out various cultural activities.
Henna Painting: An ancient form of body art, henna tattoos are a fun and artistic way to adorn your hands and feet with intricate designs. Both kids and adults can get a temporary henna tattoo, which will fade away after a few days but will leave a lasting memory of your time in the desert.
Falconry: Falcons have played an important role in Arabian culture for centuries, and a falconry demonstration will leave your family in awe. Watch as these majestic birds of prey soar through the sky, performing incredible tricks and showing off their skillful hunting techniques. Your guide will explain the ancient art of falconry and its deep connection to Bedouin culture.
Arabic Coffee and Dates: No desert experience is complete without sampling traditional Arabic coffee (Qahwa), served with sweet dates. This small gesture is a symbol of hospitality, and your family can enjoy the refreshing drink while learning about its significance in Emirati culture.
As the day progresses, prepare for one of the most unforgettable sights of the desert: the sunset. The colors of the desert sky transform as the sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting a golden light across the endless dunes. It’s the perfect time for family photos, where the stunning backdrop makes every shot look like a postcard. The beauty of the desert sunset provides a moment of peace and tranquility amidst the action-packed activities, allowing everyone to pause and appreciate the serene beauty of the natural world.
As the sun sets and the stars begin to twinkle above, head to a traditional Bedouin-style camp in the heart of the desert for an unforgettable evening. The camp is designed to offer an authentic experience, where you can relax, dine, and enjoy live entertainment under the stars.
BBQ Dinner: The evening begins with a delicious BBQ buffet, where families can enjoy a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes, from grilled meats and kebabs to traditional Arabic salads, rice, and pastries. There are plenty of kid-friendly options like chicken nuggets and pasta, along with vegetarian selections for those who prefer plant-based dishes. The food is aromatic, flavorful, and sure to satisfy every palate.
Entertainment: After dinner, enjoy live Tanoura dance and belly dancing performances, which are an integral part of the Arabian cultural experience. The colorful spinning of the Tanoura dancer’s skirts and the graceful movements of the belly dancer will captivate both adults and children alike.
Stargazing: Some tours offer a stargazing session where families can gaze through telescopes and spot constellations, planets, and other celestial wonders. This is an incredible way to wind down the evening, especially for kids interested in space and the night sky.
One of the key features of a family desert safari is the attention to safety and comfort. All vehicles are well-maintained, and professional guides are trained to ensure that your family enjoys every activity safely. Additionally, the desert environment can be hot during the day, so the safari includes well-timed breaks and plenty of access to refreshments to keep everyone comfortable.
A Perfect Mix of Adventure and Relaxation: The family desert safari offers a balanced combination of exciting activities and relaxing experiences, ensuring that every family member has a good time.
Cultural Insights: The experience provides a chance for both kids and adults to learn about the fascinating history and culture of the UAE in a fun, hands-on way.
