Pass through the desert in a vintage Land Rover and spend an evening dining under the stars at a Bedouin-inspired camp, tucked away in the grounds of a royal residence! This must-do cultural experience includes an afternoon safari through Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, followed by a night of Emirati entertainment, hospitality and traditional food. Enjoy local music and dancing, cookery demonstrations and a falconry display; get a henna tattoo and ride a camel; and then relax during a 4-course set menu for dinner.

This was an outstanding experience! We saw a display of falconry along with a short lecture of the habits and importance of the bird.

Super fun late afternoon & evening in the desert in Dubai. They pick you up at your hotel in a very nice SUV. Everyone can pick a head scarf that they will tie it so you look pretty authentic lol and you can take it home, I loved it. It was about a 45 min. drive to the desert. The open 50’s style Range Rover is festive & fun. The falcon demonstration is pretty cool. We saw several types of desert animals. The best part is the traditional dinner. It’s a beautiful set up and the grilled chicken, braised lamb & camel stew was delicious! So much food!! There is music,camel rides, hookah, henna tattoos, and lovely star gazing. Our guide, Tim, was amazing. It’s well worth the 6 hours. FYI unfortunately no alcohol is served but it didn’t hinder our experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed the desert safari experience by Platinum Heritage. The attention to detail and personalized service we encountered throughout our experience set a platinum standard. Amjad, our tour guide, demonstrated exceptional knowledge, warmth, and attentiveness throughout the entire event!

From being picked up at my Hotel to riding through the private reserve in a 1950 Land Rover the trip was fun and just good for my soul. I had two fantastic guides one from Pakistan and the other from Kenya that shared taking care of me and making sure I had an amazing time. The desert was beautiful so close to the city but a world away. I had my hair wrapped in a beautiful pink Shelia and was given a great water bottle on arrival. We walked barefoot through the dunes and I spent the rest of the evening barefooted. The peregrine falcon demonstration as we sat in the sand on beautiful pillows with our drinks during the sunset was fantastic. Then we drove camp for our evening activities and meal. Again a beautiful camp setup with activities, comfort, and beauty. More local drinks and the very best lentil soup that I’ve ever had with a bread made in the camp over a fire that is very thin and crisp and really good. Then the starters came. Yummy middle eastern treats that were so good and fresh and filled me up completely before the main dishes were served. The couple at my table really enjoyed these dishes especially the lamb, chicken and the rice with nuts. Desserts came next but I didn’t even look at them. I got a henna tattoo, and enjoyed the star gazing with all the lights out. I was going to take a elephant ride then but by that time I was full and tired after a very long flight the day before. Then it was a ride back to my hotel with lots of conversation and the end to a perfect day.

We had an amazing afternoon and evening. We were picked up from our hotel in a luxury truck. En-route to the conservation area our guide Danish gave us a quick detour to the camel racetrack where we saw many camels being exercised. On arrival at the conservation area we were all given a headscarf and water bottle. We went out in a 1950’s Land Rover and Danesh was an absolutely wicked driver, we had to hold on tight as he gave us all the ride of our lives! Thanks Danish!! 😄
We had the opportunity to walk in the desert and see the beautiful landscape and wildlife. In the evening we went to a Beduin camp and had great food and entertainment. The stargazing was amazing. Danesh looked after us the whole time and nothing was too much trouble for him. It really was the highlight of our holiday - thank you Danesh!

The desert safari was excellent. No dune bashing, comfortable for everyone and lots of interesting facts and information from our excellent guide (Khairi). Our daughter's dietary needs were also catered for, which we appreciated. They also made a video of our safari, using drones, which was amazing. A wonderful experience that we highly recommend.
