Luxury Desert Safari Dubai: Michelin-Star Dining & Private Land Rover Experience
Trade the city skyline for rolling dunes and a private Land Rover safari through the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. This luxury evening pairs a 60–75 minute conservation drive, falconry, sunset camel ride and a Michelin-curated four-course dinner in an exclusive cabana.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you arrive
Drink water before pickup and use the stainless steel bottle provided to stay hydrated during the evening; desert air is dry and cooling at night can mask dehydration.
Sun and sand protection
Wear closed-toe shoes and bring a hat and sunglasses for the daylight portion; the headscarf provided helps keep sand out during dune drives.
Respect wildlife and habitat
Keep noise low near the bird sanctuary and follow guide instructions to avoid trampling vegetation or disturbing nesting birds.
Dress for fluctuating temperatures
Layer a light jacket over smart-casual dinner attire; desert nights can drop noticeably after sunset.

Conservation Note
The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve restricts off-road travel to guided routes to minimize erosion and protect wildlife; guests are asked to follow leave-no-trace practices and avoid littering.
The area served traditional Bedouin routes and has been conserved since the early 2000s to protect native species and restore desert habitat.
What to Bring

Light insulating layerEssential
Desert temperatures fall after sunset; a light jacket or fleece keeps you comfortable through dinner and performances.
