Top Activities Included in a New Year Desert Safari Experience

A New Year celebration in Dubai is incomplete without venturing into the golden sands of the Arabian desert. A New Year Desert Safari offers a perfect blend of adventure, cultural experiences, entertainment, and fine dining under the stars. Designed for travelers seeking something beyond city parties and crowded venues, this experience allows you to welcome the New Year surrounded by breathtaking desert landscapes. Here are the top activities included in a New Year Desert Safari experience with Mayra Tours.

Thrilling Dune Bashing Adventure

One of the most exciting highlights of a New Year Desert Safari is dune bashing. This adrenaline-filled activity takes place in a powerful 4×4 vehicle driven by expert professionals. As the vehicle glides, climbs, and descends over towering sand dunes, the thrill sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. The experience is safe, well-guided, and suitable for adventure lovers looking to start their New Year with excitement.

Mesmerizing Desert Sunset Views

Before the festivities begin, guests are treated to stunning sunset views across the desert horizon. The golden glow of the setting sun creates a magical backdrop, perfect for photography and peaceful moments. This tranquil phase of the safari allows guests to connect with nature before the celebration transitions into an energetic night.

Camel Riding Experience

Camel riding adds a traditional touch to the New Year Desert Safari. Often referred to as the “ship of the desert,” camels offer a gentle and scenic ride across the dunes. This activity provides insight into Bedouin culture while allowing guests to enjoy the desert at a relaxed pace. It’s an ideal experience for families and first-time desert visitors.

Sandboarding Fun

For those who enjoy adventure sports, sandboarding is a must-try activity included in the safari. Sliding down soft sand dunes on a board brings both excitement and laughter, making it a favorite among younger travelers and thrill seekers. No prior experience is required, and the activity is conducted under supervision.

Traditional Arabian Camp Experience

As night falls, the safari leads guests to a beautifully arranged desert camp. The camp is designed with traditional Arabian décor, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests can relax on comfortable seating, enjoy Arabic hospitality, and immerse themselves in the authentic desert ambiance.

Live Entertainment Shows

Entertainment plays a major role in the New Year Desert Safari experience. Guests are treated to captivating live performances such as belly dancing, Tanoura dance, and fire shows. These performances create a festive mood and add cultural richness to the evening, ensuring continuous entertainment until midnight.

Lavish New Year Dinner Buffet

A delicious buffet dinner is another highlight of the safari. Featuring a wide range of international and Arabian dishes, the dinner caters to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences. Freshly prepared meals, desserts, and beverages make the dining experience enjoyable as guests prepare to welcome the New Year.

New Year Countdown and Fireworks

The most awaited moment of the evening is the New Year countdown. As the clock strikes midnight, guests celebrate the arrival of the New Year with cheers, music, and special arrangements at the desert camp. Select safari experiences may also include views of fireworks from nearby locations, adding a spectacular touch to the celebration.
