Overview
This tour, starting in the afternoon, will take you across the magical sand dunes of the Arabian Desert. Enjoy an adrenaline-filled dune drive and get back to a calmer pace when visiting a camel farm. Once you've familiarised with the ‘ships of the desert’, continue to the next highlight on your journey. Witness a spectacular sunset upon reaching our traditional Arabian campsite where you will be welcomed with Gahwa (Arabic coffee) and delicious local dates.
Once you've settled in, try out a short camel ride, find your balance on a sand board and get a henna tattoo to make the memories last a little longer. if you feel ready to wind down, relax with a shisha.
As you probably need some fuelling up after your action-packed afternoon, satisfy your appetite with such popular local snacks as shawarma and falafil.
Then it's time to sit back and immerse yourself in the entertainment provided by local performers. Enjoy a mesmerising traditional folk dance, Tanoura, followed by a spectacular fire dancer show. Take a break and indulge in a delicious barbecue dinner. The evening comes to an end after an enthralling belly dance performed under the starlit sky.
