About This Activity

Journey into the heart of Dubai’s desert for an unforgettable adventure at Al Khayma Camp, where culture, tradition, and entertainment blend seamlessly. Your experience begins with a pickup from your Dubai hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you travel, the vibrant cityscape fades into golden dunes, preparing you for the serene beauty of the desert.

The tour kicks off with a unique camel ride through the dunes. Camels have been an integral part of desert life for centuries, and riding one offers an authentic glimpse into the traditional Bedouin lifestyle. For horse-riding enthusiasts, the option to ride a horse through the desert offers a similar experience with a different perspective of the vast landscape. Both activities provide excellent opportunities for photos, especially as the desert is bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun.

At Al Khayma Camp, you’ll be welcomed with traditional Arabic hospitality Arabic coffee, dates, and sweets. This Bedouin-inspired camp is your gateway to cultural immersion. Try henna painting, dress in traditional Emirati clothing, and experience shisha smoking in a relaxed and friendly environment. The camp’s ambiance, with its cozy seating and traditional decor, is perfect for unwinding and enjoying the desert’s charm.

Dinner is a highlight of the evening, featuring a delicious BBQ buffet with a mix of local and international dishes to satisfy all tastes. The meal is accompanied by captivating live performances, including Tanoura dancing, belly dancing, and a thrilling fire show. These performances, set against the backdrop of the desert, create an electrifying atmosphere that adds to the magic of the evening.

As the night deepens, step away from the lights to gaze at the stars through a powerful telescope. The clear desert sky offers a spectacular view of the stars, and your guide will share fascinating insights into astronomy, making this a perfect way to end your desert adventure.

Finally, you’ll be transported back to your hotel, leaving with unforgettable memories of Dubai’s enchanting desert and Arabian culture. This tour is an ideal mix of adventure, relaxation, and cultural exploration, making it a must-do for visitors.
