What to expect

On this tour, you'll enjoy an off-road adventure with a private driver and a BBQ meal and enjoy local traditions.

Start with a thrilling 30-45 minute dune bashing ride until you arrive at Al Khayma Desert camp, where Arabic coffee, sweets (Gawa, Gaymat), and dates await you. Once you've rested, your driver will take you on a tour of the desert and you'll be able to try sandboarding and camel ride. During the sunset, you'll have the chance to take amazing pictures in the desert.

Once it's almost dinner time, you'll be taken back to the camp where you'll get the chance to have an Arabian makeover and be dressed in a typical Arabian costume (Kandura for men, Abaya for women). If you wish you can also take pictures with a falcon in the traditional costume or sit back, and puff the Shisha, or even get a henna tattoo while you wait for the meat to roast.

Finally, once your BBQ meal is ready, you'll enjoy a delicious feast and a live show with traditional tunes, a mega-fire show, a traditional Yola dance and falconry show, and a flaming fire display, before finally being dropped off back at your hotel with everlasting memories.
