Itinerary

1. Desert Safari at Al Faqa Desert

   Get picked up from your hotel by your UAE tour guide.

   • 1600 hrs -1630 hrs: Arrive in the desert at the border of Abu Dhabi And Dubai

     • Upon arriving at the desert, the first step is deflating the tyres and grouping together. Deflating the tyres is necessary to increase the area of the tyres and thus increase the off-road driving capabilities.

     • Once the group is all together and the tyres are deflated, proceed with the desert driving, aka ‘dune bashing’.

   • 1630 hrs -1700 hrs: Desert Driving

     • Drive in the desert, which is a lot of fun and feels like a roller coaster, with going up and down the dunes. It's a mix of tranquillity, which comes from being in complete emptiness, mixed with an adrenaline rush, that comes from the rather unusual feelings of such driving.

   • 1700 hrs - 1730 hrs: Photo-stop in the Desert

     • After a bit of dune bashing, make a pit stop somewhere in the heart of the desert where you will be able to leave the vehicle and get the magical feeling of being on the sands. This desert is a tranquil place, and for someone who has never ventured to these parts, it is fascinating.

     • During the photo stop, you will be offered some refreshments.

     • Board the cars again and proceed towards the ‘camp’ once all the selfies and group photos are shot.

   • 1800 hrs - 2000 hrs: Travel to the Desert Camp

     • Drive to the desert camp, located approximately 2 km from the main road in a ‘bowl’ surrounded by dunes. The camp is centred around a ‘stage’ on which live performances happen. Around the stage are low tables with cushions which is the main seating area where guests are seated for dinner and drinks.

   • 1915 hrs - 2000 hrs: Enjoy the live entertainment

     • Witness live performances performed at the camp stage: 

       • Belly Dance Show: This is performed by a female belly dancer – a traditional dance characteristic of the Levant region of the Arabian world.

       • Tanura Dance Show: This is performed by a male dance and is a dervish dance that consists of a constant spinning motion with various patterns.

   • Leave the campsite approximately around 2000 hrs and get dropped back at your accommodation by 2100 hrs.
