Join us on a trip to the Desert. We will be taking a convoy of four-wheel drive vehicles on a thrilling journey deep into the heart of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Continuing on camel back to our own very private and secluded spot in the dunes set up with traditional rugs and cushions, from where you can watch a glorious sunset and enjoy the serenity of the desert as the evening goes by.

Flaming torches and a barbecue under the starry skies will accompany a delicious Arabian feast and unlimited select beverages. After dinner, relax with aromatic shisha, as you gaze into the desert skies. At the conclusion of the evening we will re-join the convoy of four-wheel drive vehicles to return to the city.
