Overview

The Overnight Desert Safari is the most immersive way to experience the Arabian Desert. You'll enjoy the full evening safari — sunset dune bashing, dinner and live shows — and then, when the day-trippers head home, the desert becomes yours. As the camp quietens, you'll settle in for stargazing and a night beneath a sky untouched by city lights.

Sleep in a traditional Bedouin-style tent, wake to the desert at dawn and enjoy breakfast before the drive back. It's a bucket-list night that transforms a safari into a proper desert adventure.
