Breathtaking Dubai Heritage Safari: Vintage Land Rover & Starlit Feast

Authentic, entertaining, and real…great way of seeing the desert, local wildlife and a slice of Bedouin culture, while riding a 1951 Landrover…so much better than mindlessly dune bashing in a 4WD

Beautiful experience We had a beautiful time and we will do that again as soon as we get back The food was great and was more than enough

Amazing experience! Will recommend 100%! Staff is amazing. The food was good, the ride on the vintage jeep was amazing!

Started off great with amazing guide, truly accommodating and entertaining. All the activities were fun and well managed. The disappointment started with food, especially just two options with vegetarian meal. Bland roasted veggies and vegetables in sauce were the only items served as main course. The sheesha were advertised as unlimited premium sheesha, but the sheesha did not start until after the stargazing event, we were allowed to enjoy for about 20 minutes only.

I had an unforgettable desert safari riding through the dunes in a vintage Range Rover, taking incredible sunset photos, and enjoying the falcon show. The evening ended in a beautiful Bedouin village with a delicious dinner and traditional music. A special shout-out to our tour guide Hasan Merai, who was incredibly kind and made the whole experience even better. Truly one of the best tours I’ve ever had! 🥇 ✨

Good: - Hospitality and very lovely staff. - Food was tasty with great variety. - Picking up at time. - Planning of the all activities. - Quick contact with the reception, good service. - Emirati music and dance are interesting. Bad: - They need to isolate the adults from the family with children at night, if you like silent, because the children were very disruptive at night, even at morning during breakfast. - Bad planning for the return trip, it didn't go as they promised. - They offer you to pay 300 dirhams for the purchase of video and photo that they take of you with drone, very expensive! Tip: - Choose the package with staying the night in the dessert/camp. - Keep in mind times they promise may not be kept. You must be flexible. - See the sunrise early at morning. - Feel and smell the air at night outside the camp. - Wear long comfortable clothes and also a jacket for the cold night. - Take earplugs against noisy neighbors when sleeping. - Do not ride camel if you have back problems, otherwise recommends. - Pet and talk to the camels.

Brilliant experience. Not only did we get the safari but also a tour of what must be one of the biggest collections of vintage land rovers anywhere. The safari was in 2 series 1 land rovers driven by 2 very knowledgable people who knew how to use land rovers in the desert. Dinner was a great barbecue with home made chilli sauce which was applied to the meat. Great fun - highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time on this trip. All was totally smooth sailing from pick up to drop off, and the excellent rating and reviews on tripadvisor are totally justified. Abdul was a great tour guide, with lots of knowledge, and jokes, to keep us all captivated on the trip. The Bedoin camp experience was brilliant, an we loved the safari, all the stop offs and the falcon show.

Money well spent! I don’t think I’ve ever meant a five-star review more than this. Communication leading up to the tour was also great, making the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. Our tour guide, Taet, was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, especially with the two elderly members of our group. And the food… absolutely incredible! Every dish was bursting with flavor and so fresh that we kept talking about it long after the meal was over. The camel ride and henna were wonderful bonuses, too. The stargazing and falcon show were both engaging and informative, and I loved that they invited guests to join in the drum dance. Everything was perfectly balanced: relaxed but never boring, full of activities yet never overwhelming. A truly unforgettable experience!

This trip was recommended through Trailfinders and was the highlight of our holiday in Dubai. Our tour guide, Ravi, was excellent and stayed with us the whole time from being collected from our hotel, transferring to the vintage Land-rover in the desert and then returning us back to the hotel around 10pm. Everything was to a high standard including the meal, entertainment and even them turning the lights off while they gave us a tour around the night sky! The entertainment after the safari included a falconry display, camel ride, traditional dance and song, an explanation of the food and drink. There are other Land-rover groups doing the same thing and you all meet for the entertainment. I cannot recommend this enough, even if you are a Dubai resident.
