Camel Desert Safari Dubai – Authentic Arabian Adventure

Camel Desert Safari is one of the best and the most traditional way to explore the Dubai desert. Travel across the desert on a traditional camel convoy and experience why nomadic Bedouin relied on these endearing animals. Known as the ships of the desert due to the ease at which they elegantly stride across the desert sands, camels are the oldest modes of transport in the desert.

Your 45-minute journey through the desert traces the footsteps of Bedouin travelers and leads you to a falcon show in the desert dunes. Experience a significant part of Emirati culture at a professional falcon show. Watch these cherished birds fly to a lure and reach full speeds up to 390km/h.

As the Arabian sun sets behind the dunes, sit back and relax taking in the stunning views of the desert. Get great photo opportunities with the falcons before heading to an authentic gently-lit Bedouin camp inside a private Royal desert retreat.

Spend the evening in a scene of Dubai as it was in the 1950s. Soak up the culture with fascinating activities like henna painting, live Arabic bread and coffee making, traditional performances, and top-quality shisha (hubbly bubbly), in our traditionally built Bedouin camp. Feast on a 4-course dinner of Arabic cuisine and revel in the magic of this unique setting in the desert under the stars.

Get ready for a unique desert adventure on the most awarded Camel Desert Safari in Dubai!
