Private Dune Safari & Bedouin Dinner: Desert Conservation Reserve

A private 4x4 dune-bashing session through the protected red dunes of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, followed by a candlelit Bedouin camp dinner under a sky blazing with stars. Falconry, camel rides, and traditional Arabic hospitality complete the evening.

What to expect

You depart the city as the sun begins to lower, riding in an immaculately restored vintage Land Rover through the dunes as a DCAA falcon handler demonstrates the art of falconry against the golden sky. Sundowner cocktails are served on the dunes before a transfer to a private Bedouin camp, where a lavish spread of mezze, grilled meats, and Arabic sweets awaits beneath the stars. A traditional musician plays the oud as the desert cools — the silence and the sky are something you will not forget.
