Itinerary
1. Have you been to Dubai's Largest Unfenced Desert Reserve? We start our 50-minute trip to the only unfenced desert area in the country by picking you up from your hotel or accommodation in a modern air-conditioned vehicle from Dubai.
2. We shall begin our ride across the dunes after arriving at Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve by boarding the Vintage G Class Mercedes 1980s. Halting in the middle of the desert during our 30-40 minute journey through the reserve, we shall enjoy a photo stop admiring Al Ghaf, the UAE's national tree, and plants like Al Ashkhar. We also have the opportunity to hear about Dubai's history and the significance of desert flora and animals in traditional Bedouin life. While touring the desert, we'll be lucky to see desert animals like Arabian oryx, Ghazals, Falcons, and birds. Later, arriving in the Bedouin Village, we shall be greeted with Arabic coffee, dates, and luqaimat as part of the traditional Emirati hospitality before the camel caravan ride. Reaching the middle of nowhere in the desert, admiring the beauty of the dunes, we have the opportunity to click beautiful pictures.
3. Returning to the Bedouin, we shall have tea or coffee brewed in front of us by a local Arab, followed by delicacies like luqaimat and dates. The Bedouin Village in Al Marmoom Reserve is constructed using natural materials like goat hair and is situated in the center of a desert oasis. Reaching the village, we shall know more about the handicrafts and spices used for desert survival before heading to the live cooking station watching the preparations for traditional Bedouin breakfast. Later, indulge in various activities like Arabian makeovers, henna tattoos, and more, admiring the beauty of desert oasis while listening to the Bedouins' music and genuine Bedouins' life stories.
4. As the tour comes to an end, we will be driving you back to your hotel or accommodation in Dubai.
