The Ras Al Khaimah Desert Safari is an escape into a world of thrilling adventure in the vast expanse of the desert away from the crowds of Dubai. The adventure begins when you are picked up from your chosen location in Dubai and are driven to the charming city of Ras Al Khaimah. After you reach the desert, the powerful 4×4 vehicle you are in takes you on an adrenaline-thumping dash up and down the slopes of the sand dunes in an adventure called dune bashing. After experiencing the adrenaline rush of dune bashing, stop by and relax a bit as you take in the beauty of the desert sunset. Capture the surreal sight of a golden hue spreading across the desert in your camera as the sun goes down beyond the sand dunes.
After you have enjoyed watching the beauty of the exotic sunset, it’s time to step into a camp set up in the desert. Get a feel of Bedouin life as you settle into the soft carpets and cushions. Try exotic experiences like smoking the shisha and having your arms decorated with intricate henna designs by skilled local artists. Relax in the camp as you get a feel of traditional Emirati hospitality. If you are keen for some more adventure, have a go at sandboarding zooming up and down the sand dunes. You could also opt to take a relaxing ride on a camel, ‘the ship of the desert’. Things come alive during an exotic belly dance and tanoura show. Your desert adventure comes to an end with a sumptuous BBQ dinner including mouthwatering local and international fare.
