Things to do in Dubai desert safari

Over the years Dubai has emerged as the hot spot for holidays. The tourism authority of Dubai has invested a lot of time and money to help Dubai emerge as “THE” place to visit. Be it shopping, beaches, parks, museums, mosques and infrastructure everything has been built and developed of remarkable standards, which collectively ensure maintaining a high influx of tourists all year round. 

Dubai in all its glory most importantly provides its visitors the EXPERIENCE. The experience to visit culture - old and new, experience to shop the heritage from both modern and ancient era - malls and souks, experience to face the fear and live the adventures - sky diving and the world renowned DESERT SAFARI.

Dubai Desert Safari is the highlight for all the tourists visiting Dubai. In essence, a desert safari involves a jeep drive through enormous mounds of sand (called "dune-bashing"), and a stop at a campsite where you'll have the opportunity to ride camels, get henna tattoos and be entertained by a belly dancer during dinner. 

This solo activity excites people of all age groups. Children, adults and elderly - everyone can enjoy an evening full of fun, adventure, entertainment and mouthwatering FOOD. Here is a round-up of all the things you need to do on a 6-hour long Desert safari Dubai and enjoy a mix of traditional and modern desert adventures.
