Adventures and Activities

Camel Riding

The camel ride is perhaps the most iconic adventure a desert safari has, giving one a slow-paced, rhythmic trudge across the desert sands. These rides take a few minutes to an hour and have been in the region for centuries as the traditional mode of transportation. As riders often go out at sunrise or sunset, this serenity experienced during the ride presents an opportunity to behold the desert landscape amidst golden daylight hues of the sun.

Dune Bashing 

This is one of the most exciting 4×4 rides where licensed, experienced drivers tackle SUVs with a speed that varies through the desert dunes. Suitable for the dashing club, dune bashing can give anyone the rush of adrenaline to reach the top of the dunes and crash down quickly with the safety of the vehicle. Each session gives an exciting thrill of the dynamic desert landscape.

Sandboarding 

Similar to snowboarding, sandboarding involves sliding down dunes on a board fitted to your feet. It provides an exciting and challenging experience and suits adventure-lovers of all ages. The smooth sands in Dubai dunes make it one of the finest surfaces for sandboarding for first-timers as well as frequent boarders.

Morning Desert Safari

 For those who find appeal in the cool and serene ambiance during dawn, this is the morning desert safari. These include light activities like falconry, a light camel ride, or even a peaceful hot balloon flight. There’s something about the calmer morning with soft sunlight that provides the perfect setting for people who want to appreciate the quiet beauty of the desert.

ATV Rides 

ATV rides are an even more personal and interactive form of dune exploration. Riders receive a short training session and then are taken out on marked trails by guides. It’s a personal ride where the participant can be in control of the vehicle when he or she desires a little more speed and freedom in his or her adventure.

Hot Air Ballooning

 Hot air ballooning provides a mythical feel of the desert from topside with a very quiet and panoramic view. Rides take place often over sunrise time, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the massive desert with opportunities for scenic views of wildlife such as the Arabian oryx from above. It’s silent but breath-taking and is popular among those who want less rambunctious adventure rides.

Cultural Experiences

Henna Painting 

This is one of the activities to be found in a desert safari: It is part of the Middle Eastern traditions which could be commonly seen in celebrations and ceremonies. A henna painting could be applied as a temporary henna tattoo on the hands or feet, beautifying and providing an occasional moment of rest while engaging in traditional practices.

Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve

Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve is a protected area with the objective of conserving the natural landscape and endemic wildlife of the region. Safari-goers can view part of the reserve, learn about conservation work, and possibly catch sight of some of these species in their natural habitats. This is an educational feature of the safari that further helps in the comprehension of the environmental efforts within Dubai.

Cultural Workshops

Attend interactive cultural workshops that may even combine the possibility of deepening one’s acquaintance with Emirati traditions. Such workshops may include Arabic calligraphy, traditional Bedouin crafts, or even cooking demonstrations where guests may learn how to prepare a local meal.
