Pickup from your Abu Dhabi hotel, the Al Ain desert safari begins with a drive into the Arabian desert, passing villages and camel farms along the way. Arriving at the desert camp, relish traditional Arabic hospitality as you explore the campsite or sip Arabic coffee before your dune bashing adventure commences.

Strap into a 4×4 vehicle to experience the thrill of sand dune bashing, swirling and bumping across towering golden dunes. An expert desert driver maneuvers the vehicle up and down steep slopes and rollercoaster ridges. After working up an appetite, sit down to a delicious barbecue dinner buffet under a Bedouin-style tent.

As the sun sets, a fascinating Tanoura dance performance begins, with whirling dancers in colorful robes. Visitors can also have intricate henna tattoos painted on their hands and feet. Before heading back to Abu Dhabi, enjoy a camel ride, sandboarding and trying on Emirati costumes for memorable photos of your Arabian Nights desert experience.

Prices for Al Ain desert safari may vary by Adventure Tours, but expect to pay around 100-250 AED per person.
