Afternoon Desert Safari: Sandboarding, Camel Ride, Live Shows with BBQ Dinner
About this experience
This tour departs in the afternoon across the Arabian desert with photo-stops during an exciting dune drive. Stop at a camel farm for a briefing on the ‘Ships of the Desert’, then, continue to the next highlight, a fascinating falcon show. You'll have time to interact with the falconer and learn about the UAE's national bird.
Witness a spectacular sunset upon reaching the traditional Arabian Campsite where you will be welcomed with ‘Gahwa’ Arabic coffee and local dates.
Experience camel riding, sand boarding and get a henna tattoo. Then, relax with an Arabic Shisha waterpipe. Whet your appetite with a shawarma or falafel sandwich – both popular local snacks – before settling in to watch the evening's live entertainment – a mesmerising traditional folk dance known as a Tanoura, followed by a spectacular fire-blower show. Take a break and enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner.
The evening comes to an end after an enthralling belly dance performed under the starlit sky.
