A Unique Overnight Desert Experience

Your adventure begins in the late afternoon when a 4x4 Land Cruiser picks you up from your hotel and takes you deep into the Arabian desert. The thrill kicks off with dune bashing, an exhilarating ride through the sandy hills with a professional driver. After the rush, slow things down with a camel ride, giving you a taste of the traditional Bedouin lifestyle. Try your hand at sandboarding, snap sunset photos, and head to a beautifully set-up desert camp for a night of relaxation. At the camp, you will be welcomed with Arabic coffee, fresh dates, and unlimited soft drinks. Sit back and watch live performances, including a belly dance show, Tanoura spinning, and an impressive fire performance. Dinner is a feast—a lavish BBQ buffet with grilled meats, fresh salads, and traditional Arabic sweets. After dinner, unwind at the shisha lounge, get a henna tattoo, or just gaze at the stars in the clear desert sky. When it is time to rest, your cozy tent with comfortable bedding awaits. The silence of the desert makes for a peaceful night’s sleep. Wake up to fresh air and a breathtaking sunrise, enjoy a light breakfast, and head back to the city, carrying unforgettable memories of your Overnight Desert Safari.

Reviews

Unforgettable night! The bonfire stories and sunrise camel ride were magical. Felt like we had the desert all to ourselves.

Nancy

The stargazing was unreal. I saw the shooting stars. The ESA dune buggy camp team made us feel like family.

Dana

You know we wanted to disconnect, a kind of digital detox, so we headed to the desert and booked an overnight desert safari with ESA Tours. I can not tell you how much we enjoyed it. Kids loved roasting marshmallows, and the tents were surprisingly cozy.
