Full Description:
Have you visited a Dubai Desert Reserve that is not walled in? We will be transferred to Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve after a 50-minute journey from the hotel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle.
On arriving, we switch from our modern vehicle to the Vintage G Class to enjoy a smooth ride over the beautiful dunes. During the 30-40-minute ride, we shall stop in the middle of the desert for a photo stop. Take advantage of this chance, to learn about Dubai’s history and you will be lucky if you see wild animals when touring the desert in our open car while hanging on to the rods.
Arriving at the traditional Bedouin Village, enjoy an authentic Emirati welcome with Coffee, Gahwa, and sweets, followed by an amazing camel caravan ride witnessing the stunning beauty of the desert landscape.
Once you return, you will be witnessing a live Arabic coffee-making session by an Emirati guy; sip on the traditional Emirati coffee and explore the Bedouin village made of natural materials like goat hair, located near the desert oasis and listen to the stories about the old Bedouin lifestyle and the culture they hold on to even now. It’s time to witness a spectacular sunset where you can witness the magnificent beauty of the endless sand dunes, clicking amazing photos.
The Emirati cooking style can be explored back in the village where a lady is seen busy making Emirati bread and luqaimat, an Arabic sweet dumpling before heading to taste the Emirati 3 course dinner that starts with an appetizer followed by the main course and a dessert.
Take this opportunity to enjoy the joyful and lively dance performances, a combination of modern style and traditional folkloric dance performed by women in colorful dresses. You will be dressed in a typical Arabian costume and pose with the majestic falcon to take stunning photos, experiencing the genuine spirit and enchantment of the desert.
We shall then participate in a wonderful stargazing session admiring the beauty of the night sky which starts with a telescope learning more about how the Bedouins used stars for navigation and story-telling in the past.
In the end, the camp lights will be turned off to feel the true essence and magic of the calm desert.
Concluding the Dubai Evening Safari by Vintage G Class, we will drive you back to your hotel or accommodation in Dubai.
