About
As the only ecotourism Desert Safari company in Dubai, our mission is to protect the cultural heritage and natural environment of Dubai. We have three collections of Desert Safaris which authentically showcase a different time period in Dubai’s history. The Bedouin Collection (pre-1920’s) is the most traditional. Retrace the footsteps of Bedouin tribes and immerse yourself in a first-hand experience of a day in the life of a Bedouin living in the desert. With no frills or fuss, this is the most traditional and hands-on experience of Dubai’s cultural roots. The Heritage Collection (1950’s) is a journey back to the turning point in Dubai’s history to the time when Land Rovers were first introduced to the desert. These Desert Safaris offer an authentic encounter with Dubai’s cultural heritage with the addition of a few modern comforts. The Platinum Collection (modern day) is the most luxurious. Embrace modern day times and experience the magic of the desert with a sophisticated touch.

An unforgettable experience in Dubai with Platinum Heritage ! Highly recommend doing the tour when you visit Dubai. The tour is eco friendly and allows you to enjoy the desert experience whilst respecting the environment ( no dune bashing!). Noman was an excellent guide and host. Really enjoyed the trip with him entertaining us the whole way through and teaching us so much about local culture, food, music, economy and more. Thanks Noman if you're reading this, would love to visit again!

A wonderful experience that helps preserve the desert instead of ‘dune bashing’. Ali was a great guide and I learned much from him.

The experience was wonderful tailored for a bedouin experience. A lot to learn about Emarati culture. The drummers made the experience fun and the star gazing is educational and mind-blowing. Nothing but exemptional service with good scrumptious meals.

I had a very enjoyable experience with the desert tour, Heritage Safari. All aspects of the tour were of a high standard, including the clean and comfortable vehicle. Our guide, Jay, was highly knowledgeable, intelligent, and well-educated. He was also very polite and helpful, providing us with a wealth of new information about the history of the UAE. We visited various camps in the desert, and the highlight of the tour was the unforgettable falcon show at sunset. We were served delicious cheese dates, cinnamon tea, and mocktails, which were a refreshing treat at that time. Upon arrival at the camp, we were warmly welcomed with traditional Arabic coffee and dates, and we also had the opportunity to have henna tattoo art drawn on our hands. The dinner provided at the camp was exquisite, with a wide variety of delectable dishes to choose from. All the facilities in the camp were meticulously organized to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of all guests. The tour concluded with an unexpected stargazing and astronomy session led by our knowledgeable guide, Jay. We indulged in a delightful spread of desserts, fruits, hot camel milk, cinnamon tea, and smoked shisha, making for a truly memorable experience.Thank you so much for that unforgettable desert experience,additional thanks to Neil and guide Jay. YOU ARE THE BEST TEAM 👌

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the morning falconry and nature desert safari today. Everything from pre trip information/confirmation, pick up and knowledgeable and very caring staff throughout highlights what a quality company you have booked with.
I cannot recommend the falconry element highly enough. 4 beautiful birds were shown, up and personal, with ample opportunity to ask questions and take pictures. We got to fly three of them, such a rare insight into a very historic element of life in the area. Loved it. The breakfast was a delight too, beautifully fresh and authentic and served in a gorgeous tented camp.
A camel ride came next. It was brief and the handler did not offer any information but answered any questions very happily.
And then we had a drive out into the conservation area. We saw gazelles and oryx and just how vast and peaceful the desert is. But equally, by the time the sun was coming up, what a hard environment to live in.
The vintage Land Rover was a great vehicle to travel in, and was surprisingly comfortable. The very lovely scarves our guide kindly tied for us prior to the trip helped with wayward hair! We got to keep them and a really nice metal water bottle.
I hoped it would be a great trip and it was. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you especially to our guide Houston. He really made the trip. If I came back to Dubai, I would book it again.

We did a lot of research before booking the safari. I wanted to experience something as close as possible to the authentic life in the dessert, and I must say that this tour did not disappoint. It was perfect! From the very first moment when we were picked-up from the hotel, until the late hours in the night.
Special thanks to our guide John! We learnt a lot from him, he is very knowledgeable and it was truly a pleasure to have him as our guide. We especially enjoyed his funny side, he made us laugh all the way through the entire tour.
Regarding the safari, everything was carefully planned and organised. The food in the bedouin camp was amazing. The kids enjoyed the camel ride and the astronomy lessons.
I truly recommend this tour, you won't regret it.
