Morning Vintage G-Class Safari to Al Marmoom Desert & Bedouin Village
Ride an open-air vintage G-Class into Al Marmoom Desert Reserve for a compact morning of dunes, falcon photos, camel caravan and Bedouin hospitality. Learn local ecology and taste traditional Emirati breakfast on a four‑hour guided experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you go
Drink water before pickup and carry a small bottle; desert mornings can still dehydrate you quickly during activities.
Protect from sun and sand
Wide-brim hat, sunglasses and reef‑safe sunscreen cut glare and grit during open‑top driving and village time.
Wear closed, grippy shoes
Sandy terrain and short walks in and around the Bedouin Village are easier in sturdy closed shoes rather than sandals.
Bring a lightweight layer
Early desert mornings are cool; a light windbreaker will be useful for the open vintage vehicle and photo stops.
