Dubai Evening Desert Safari with Kosher Dinner & Dune Bashing
Leave the city behind for an evening of dune bashing, camel rides, henna and a kosher dinner under the desert sky. This private sunset safari pairs adrenaline on the dunes with cultural entertainment at a traditional camp.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the trip
Carry a reusable water bottle and drink frequently—guides supply water at the camp but the desert dehydrates you quickly.
Secure loose gear
Bring a zippered daypack and secure cameras or phones before dune bashing to avoid sand damage or loss.
Bring a light layer
Desert evenings cool fast; a light jacket or shawl makes post-sunset time at camp more comfortable.
Mind motion sickness
If you get car sick, take medication before the dune-bashing portion; the ride is intentionally dramatic.

The desert routes served Bedouin traders and shepherds for centuries; camels were central to travel and trade, and modern camps echo those social practices.
