Think about deserts, and one is bound to think of Dubai. Dubai is known as the precious gem of UAE. It is a shopaholic's paradise, a dream come true for job seekers, and a crazy adventure ride for the daredevils. And as they say every outing is an unscripted adventure. Let us at least try to understand what is so special about a desert safari that compels millions of tourists to flock to Dubai each and every year. This peppy place has a lot to offer to people belonging to different age groups with different interests. There is a plethora of adventure and architecture awaiting you on each visit you make. To know the real roots of Dubai, one must definitely opt to come for a desert camp. The safari campsite is situated in the conservation reserves where a number of flora and fauna, along with an unmitigated wildlife species like the gazelle, antelope, tropical lizard, falcon, caracal, etc. are found.
Desert safaris have definitely become one of the must do activities when on a trip to Dubai. This is mainly owing to the various activities that it caters to. It starts with a dune bashing ride, which takes you up and down the sand dunes with high speed in a 4X4 vehicle. You can in fact, even continue with the daredevilry act with quad biking, if you wish to. Much before you realise, you are led to the open vast deserts to take on a short camel ride; or sand-boarding and soak in the sunset atop one of the magnificent dunes. This ride is certainly relaxing, and gives you the much-needed break from the intrepid rides.
As darkness prevails, you are taken to a massive shack where majlis is laid for you to sit, and savour the flavoured sheesha along with the famous Arabic coffee (kehwa) and dates. To add to your joie de vivre there is belly dancing and henna painting, together with sumptuous barbecue and an assortment of other food items. The activities and the entertainment that is found in a barren desert like Dubai is incomparable and the memories of the safari are sure to stay in the mind and heart of the visitors for a really long time. Safaris are available in different packages like morning safari, evening and overnight safari to suit your
convenience. Indeed, a holiday in Dubai without a visit to the deserts is an incomplete trip. So, wait no more! Consult a local tour operator for the Dubai tour package that suits your needs and requirements. In any case, a desert safari is sure to make your trip to Dubai complete.
