Experience a night of Bedouin hospitality as you exchange the hubbub of the city for an evening in the desert. Climb aboard a camel and admire the sunset as you trot out to a nomadic community for an evening of cultural activities, music, and delectable food.

Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and head out to meet “the ships of the desert,” dromedary camels. Once settled in atop your ride, begin the short trek to a Bedouin camp. Experience Dubai as it was over half a century ago—follow in the footsteps of travelers who have gone before while admiring the vast desert landscape.

Receive a friendly greeting as you arrive at the Bedouin camp nestled inside the royal desert retreat. Immerse yourself in the customs and culture of ancient nomads as you learn about the art of henna, shisha, music, dance, and traditional bread making. As the sun sets on the desert dunes, sip on a glass of date juice and observe a falcon demonstration, gaining an insight into the various techniques involved in training.

Age-old culinary traditions emerge as you feast on an authentic dinner by candlelight. Take this opportunity to sample a camel meat dish, traditional ouzi (baked lamb pastry and spiced rice), as well as other Arabic specialties. Enjoy the serenity of your desert surroundings; gaze up at the stars and simply relax before heading back to your Dubai hotel.
