What to Expect
Ride Through the Desert in Style
Your journey begins with a hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Upon reaching Al Marmoom Desert Reserve, switch to an open-air Vintage G-Class for a thrilling 30–40 minute drive through rolling dunes. Enjoy sweeping views, desert wildlife, and photo opportunities at every turn.
Camel Caravan Ride
Take a step back in time and join a traditional camel caravan ride through the desert. Each ride lasts around 10–12 minutes and can be repeated, allowing you to fully experience how the Bedouins once traveled across the sand.
Explore the Authentic Bedouin Village
Visit a recreated Bedouin Village, made from natural materials like goat hair. Enjoy a warm Emirati welcome with gahwa (Arabic coffee) and local sweets, then dive into a cultural experience that includes:
- Live Arabic coffee-making demonstration
- Arabian makeover in traditional dress (Kandura or Abaya)
- Photo opportunity with a falcon, a symbol of desert royalty
- Bedouin-style breakfast, served in the tranquil desert surroundings
Wildlife & Nature Spotting
As you ride and explore, keep your eyes open for native animals like gazelles, birds, and desert foxes. Learn about the indigenous flora and fauna that thrive in this protected ecosystem, covering over 10% of Dubai’s land.
