Enjoy another morning of shopping in this amazing city. This afternoon, embark on a 4WD Desert Safari. This off-road adventure takes you from the bustle of Dubai city to the desert of golden sand dunes. The 4WD vehicles will go through sand dunes, climbing dune mountains, driving across sand dunes in a 45 degree angle. As the sun descends into the horizon, we will stop on the highest sand dune to view the beautiful sunset for some breathtaking photographs. We also pass through an old Bedouin Village and a famous camel farm with around 500 camels. This camel camp is a home for the race camels. You will have the opportunity to ride on a camel, dress in traditional Bedouin male or female garments for photographs, try out a henna design, smoke a hubbly-bubbly (water pipe) and taste traditional cups of coffee and dates.
A mouth-watering barbeque with a selection of traditional fresh Arabic salads will be prepared and served under the starlit sky. While enjoying your dinner, you will be entertained by a belly dancer swaying to the haunting strains of Arabic music. It is an amazing experience.
