Spend a peaceful evening under the stars, immersed in culture
During your Heritage Safari, you will traverse the desert in a vintage Land Rover while learning about the fauna and flora from your dedicated Conservation Guide. At sunset, marvel at a falcon performance and find out more about the art of falconry. As night falls, retreat to your overnight camp where an array of activities await you, including a traditional four-course Arabic dinner, authentic Emirati entertainment, henna, shisha, camel rides and stargazing.When you stay overnight in one of our stone dwelling rooms, you will be transported back in time to experience Dubai before the city was born, in the desert and under the stars. These Arabic stone dwelling rooms are inspired by how the Bedouins designed and built their accommodation back in the day. Enjoy a restful sleep with no sounds or lights to interrupt as the camp's power gets switched off when the evening draws to an end. Your room is fully equipped with a bed and comfortable bedding, but we suggest bringing something warm as the desert can get quite cool at night.
In the morning, wake up feeling refreshed from a good night's sleep and walk over to your gourmet breakfast. Here, you will indulge in a variety of egg dishes, freshly baked goods, cold cuts, cheeses and much more.
