Classic Evening Desert Safari
- 45-Minute Dune Bashing in 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser
- Golden Hour Sand Ridge Sunset Photo Stop
Go beyond the standard evening safari and spend a night under the stars in the Arabian desert on this 17-hour overnight desert safari with BBQ dinner, campfire stargazing, and a sunrise breakfast.
Pickup is between 3:00 PM and 3:30 PM from your Abu Dhabi hotel. Your evening begins with the full safari experience: 45 minutes of dune bashing in Al Khatim, sunset photography, camel riding, sandboarding, live stage performances, and a charcoal BBQ buffet dinner at the Bedouin desert camp.
After 9:30 PM, the day visitors leave and the desert grows quiet. Gather around a central bonfire for stargazing with hot Arabic tea and coffee. When you are ready to turn in, retire to a carpeted Bedouin tent equipped with mattresses, pillows, and warm blankets. Clean restrooms with running water are available around the clock.
Wake to the sight of sunrise over the dunes. Walk into the sand for early-morning photos, then sit down to a fresh breakfast of eggs, bread, fruit, juice, and hot drinks served at around 7:00 AM. Your driver returns you to Abu Dhabi by approximately 8:30 AM.
Ideal for couples, families, solo adventurers, and anyone wanting a deeper desert experience. The overnight camp is staffed and monitored 24 hours. Bring a light jacket for cool nighttime temperatures, a phone charger, and basic toiletries. Shared and private vehicle options are available at checkout.
