Private vs. shared safari

On a shared safari you ride with strangers and follow a fixed group. On a private safari the 4x4, driver and timing are yours — better for families with children, elderly parents or anyone who wants a gentler dune drive.

A typical evening

  1. Pickup from your hotel in the afternoon.
  2. Dune drive and photo stops at sunset; sandboarding and quad bikes are available.
  3. Camp: camel ride, henna, Arabic coffee and sweets.
  4. BBQ dinner with vegetarian options and live shows, then drop-off at night.

Want something quieter? Ask for a luxury camp dinner or combine the desert with a sunrise hot air balloon flight.
