About This Activity

Discover the magic of Dubai’s desert on this immersive experience at Al Khayma Camp. The adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your Dubai hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you leave the city behind, the vast golden dunes of the desert come into view, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Your first stop is an exhilarating camel ride, where you’ll get a taste of traditional Bedouin life. Camels, often referred to as the "ships of the desert," provide a gentle and unique way to explore the dunes. Take in the serenity of the desert and enjoy the stunning landscape as the sun begins to set, creating the perfect photo opportunity.

Once at Al Khayma Camp, you’ll be welcomed with Arabic coffee, dates, and sweets, a traditional gesture of hospitality in the UAE. The camp offers a rich cultural experience with activities such as henna painting, shisha smoking, and the chance to dress in traditional Emirati attire. Explore the Bedouin-style tents and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the desert.

As night falls, prepare for a feast with a live BBQ dinner under the stars. The menu includes a variety of grilled meats, salads, and local dishes, all freshly prepared to tantalize your taste buds. While you dine, enjoy captivating live entertainment, including a traditional Tanoura dance, belly dancing, and a mesmerizing fire show, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

For those seeking a bit of adventure, there’s also an optional quad biking experience where you can zip across the dunes and feel the adrenaline rush. This add-on is perfect for thrill-seekers looking to elevate their desert experience.

End your evening by gazing at the stars through a powerful telescope, learning about the constellations and the vast desert sky. As the night concludes, you’ll be transported back to your hotel, leaving with memories of an extraordinary desert adventure.

The meals and shows were really enjoyable. It was a lovely experience getting to feed and gently touch the baby camels. Watching the sunset was a beautiful moment. Taymour, our driver and guide, did a fantastic job.

We booked the tour with our 5-year-old daughter, and it was fantastic! The pickup was smooth, the camp beautiful, and the camel ride, food, and fire show were great. We even saw Jupiter and the moon through telescopes. The return was delayed by an hour, but no issue. Highly recommended!
