What is Desert Safari?
Desert Safari is the most common adventure tourist attraction in the United Arab Emirates. You usually ride four-by-four vehicles which drive through the desert which is called sand dune bashing and go to a campsite where you’ll have a live entertainer while eating dinner.

Then next will be the exciting and heart-pumping experience of dune bashing. Your vehicle will drive through the sand dunes in the desert. It is like a roller coaster ride. Check our video below. 🙂
tips: wear your seat belt for safety
After the dune bashing experience, the tour operator drops us at our designated desert camp. Nathaniel and Joanna really enjoyed the desert because of the mesmerizing sunset and ambiance with the Golden Sands of Dubai.
Besides our camp, you can have a close encounter with the camel and try to ride on for free.

The dinner style inside the camp is a buffet dinner. The food is delicious. While eating you will be entertained by the live performance of the dancers. The first performance will be by the beautiful belly dancer, followed by the traditional Tanura dance and lastly by the fire dancer.
Belly dance is an expressionist type dance that focuses on the movement of the torso which originated in Egypt.
Tanoura dance is an Egyptian folk dance using a colorful weighted skirt. Usually, the dancer spins until the end of the music. 🙂
Fire dancer skills are fire eating, fire dancing and fire breathing.
