Abu Dhabi Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner, Dune Bashing and Live Shows

An evening desert safari from Abu Dhabi in a private 4x4 with dune bashing, sandboarding, BBQ dinner, and live entertainment at a traditional Bedouin camp.

Getting started

Your evening desert safari from Abu Dhabi begins with pickup from your location in a private 4x4 with door-to-door service. You travel out of the city toward the desert, with your driver heading straight to the dune bashing area so you arrive in time for sunset views in the desert.

Dune bashing and arrival activities

What to expect

The first part of your safari focuses on the desert itself. Your trained desert driver takes the private 4x4 onto the sand for dune bashing before you try adventurous sandboarding and pause to enjoy sunset views in the desert.

Features

• Dune bashing in a 4x4 with trained desert drivers takes you over rolling sand, with short climbs and descents across the dunes.
• Sandboarding is available on the slopes so you can glide down the sand using a board.
• A stop is included to capture sunset views in the desert as the light changes over the sand before you continue to the camp.

Bedouin camp: meal, entertainment, and activities

What to expect

After the dune activities, you enter a traditional Bedouin camp where the rest of the evening unfolds. Here you join guided camel rides, try shisha and henna painting, enjoy a BBQ dinner with salads and Emirati cuisine, and watch a series of live shows.

Features

• Access to a traditional Bedouin camp gives you time to explore the seating areas and activity zones before and after dinner.
• Guided camel rides allow you to experience the desert from a camel’s back along a short route near the camp.
• Shisha is available at the camp, and henna painting lets you get a temporary design applied by an artist.
• A BBQ dinner with salads, Emirati cuisine, and non-alcoholic beverages is served, featuring a variety of grilled items and side dishes.
• Live entertainment includes belly dance, a Tanoura show, a fire show, a camel show, and traditional music performed on the central stage while you relax at the camp.
