Full Description

Escape the city lights and immerse yourself in the serene tranquility of the Arabian desert with our 17-hour Overnight Desert Safari & Camping Experience. Combining the full thrills of an evening safari with a peaceful night stay under the starlit desert sky, this package offers private carpeted Bedouin tents, a midnight bonfire, and a spectacular desert sunrise breakfast. Listen to the crackle of firewood at our central midnight bonfire, feel the cool night air brush against the desert sand, and marvel at the bright Milky Way glittering overhead. In the morning, awaken to the fragrant aroma of freshly brewed hot Arabian coffee and warm breakfast pastries while watching the morning sun illuminate untouched sand dunes. Your 17-hour journey begins at 3:00 PM with hotel pickup in Abu Dhabi, proceeding directly to Al Khatim for dune bashing, sunset ridge photos, camel rides, and a 5-star live barbecue dinner buffet with live stage shows. At 9:30 PM, as daytime visitors depart, the camp transitions into a quiet overnight sanctuary. Gather around the bonfire for stargazing and hot tea before retiring to your private, carpeted Bedouin tent equipped with clean mattresses, pillows, and blankets. Key Stops & Highlights: • Complete Afternoon & Evening Safari: Includes 45 minutes of 4x4 dune bashing, sunset photos, sandboarding, camel rides, and live stage shows. • Midnight Campfire & Stargazing Session: Unwind around an open desert bonfire after dark with hot Arabic tea, coffee, and shisha. • Private Bedouin Sleeping Tents: Fully enclosed carpeted tents fitted with comfortable mattresses, fresh linens, and clean blankets, with 24/7 access to modern restrooms and showers. • Desert Sunrise & Fresh Breakfast Buffet: Watch dawn break over golden dune slopes followed by a warm breakfast featuring scrambled eggs, pancakes, juices, tea, and coffee. Why Book With Us: Self-camping in the desert poses severe navigation, gear, and safety risks. We provide a fully secure, enclosed camp enclave monitored 24/7 by dedicated camp hosts, with clean modern sanitation, plush bedding, and private vehicle transport included. After enjoying a serene morning camel walk and breakfast, your 4x4 driver escorts you back to Abu Dhabi, dropping you off at your hotel refreshed by 8:30 AM.
