Go on a private Night Desert Safari in Dubai like no other in an antique 1950’s Land Rover with an expert Conservation Guide and Astronomer.
After the sun has dropped and the temperature cools, see the nocturnal animals come to life. Explore the wilderness at night time on a wildlife drive through the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and look for native wildlife like Arabian gazelles with torches. If you’re lucky, you may additionally even spot the rare desert fox or the enchanting Desert eagle owl! Stop along the way to go on a nature walk with UV arachnid lights in search of the small wilderness creatures like scorpions, beetles, and lizards.
Enjoy the tranquillity and coolness of the desert at night in contrast to the hot noisy city. Take in the fresh wilderness air and be amazed by the blanket of stars above you. Arrive at an authentic open-air Bedouin camp to spend the night relaxing in Arabic Majlis with the finest shisha (hubbly bubbly) if you like. Enjoy a delicious three-course dinner with a choice of main dishes like grilled salmon and prawns, Australian filet steak, and vegetable moussaka.
Go on a celestial voyage in an expert Astronomy session and learn about the stars of Arabia. Revel in the magic of stargazing as your private Astronomer recalls the early records of Astronomy and the magnificent legacy of how the Bedouin relied on the stars for storytelling and navigation. Learn a few guidelines about Astrophotography and experience superb telescope views of mesmerizing nighttime sky objects which includes the mighty planet Jupiter and its four Galilean Moons, distant galaxies, and star-forming nebula.
