Get off the beaten track and experience a private Mountain Desert Safari on an overland adventure!
For the intrepid explorers who prefer off-the-beaten-track adventures, this full day Mountain and Desert Safari takes you to some of the best outdoor gems in Dubai and the UAE. This overland safari is designed for the nature lovers, adventure seekers, outdoor enthusiasts and active types.
Explore the unique mountain ranges and iconic desert dunes of the United Arab Emirates in a Classic Land Rover Defender with your own private Conservation Guide. Enjoy activities like photography, hiking, fat-biking and swimming in the mountain wadis (Arabic for valley). Picnic in the great outdoors and take in stunning views of one of the Middle East’s most unique landscapes.
After discovering the mountains, head into the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve to enjoy a wildlife drive through this pristine and protected area of Dubai. Spot native wildlife like Arabian oryx and gazelles, learn about Dubai’s fauna and flora and hear fascinating stories about the desert’s earliest inhabitants, the nomadic Bedouin.
Witness a spectacular sunset falcon show in the desert and spend the evening experiencing a glimpse of Dubai’s heritage with cultural entertainment like Arabic coffee-making, an interactive drumming performance, henna painting and more. Enjoy an Arabic feast of traditional dishes and soak up the magic of the desert at night while dining under the stars of Arabia.
