Last month, my family of four vacationed in Dubai and booked the classic Evening Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner through Klook. The overall experience was incredibly exciting and unforgettable! I highly recommend it to tourists who want to experience the Arabian desert scenery, especially those visiting Dubai for the first time.
Pick-up is super convenient
Around 2 PM, the driver arrived at the hotel on time to pick us up (in a Land Cruiser 4x4), and we drove all the way to the red dune area. Klook's booking process is simple and includes round-trip hotel transfers, saving you the trouble of finding your own way.
Dune Bashing is super exciting
The highlight after arriving in the desert! The driver expertly drove the car to bash the sand dunes, going up and down like a roller coaster, with constant screams (but safety is guaranteed). We stopped midway to take sunset photos. The golden color of the desert was so beautiful, and the air was fresh. I completely forgot the hustle and bustle of the city.
Camp activities are rich
After arriving at the Bedouin-style camp, there was a short camel ride, Henna hand-painted tattoos, taking photos in traditional Arabic costumes, and even smoking shisha. The atmosphere is the best at sunset!
Dinner and performances are wonderful
The BBQ buffet dinner has many choices, including grilled meat, salads, Middle Eastern dishes, and vegetarian options. It's filling and delicious. While eating, we watched performances: Tanoura spinning dance, belly dance, and fire dance show. The exotic atmosphere under the lights was amazing! The whole camp was lively but not crowded.
Minor shortcomings
If you are prone to motion sickness, you can take motion sickness medicine before dune bashing. There are many people in the camp, so you should reserve a seat in the performance area early. In addition, extra activities such as Quad Bike must be paid for on-site.
Summary: This is a must-do experience in Dubai! Booking through Klook is cost-effective and reliable, and the driver and guide services are friendly. I want to try the overnight version next time I come~ It's so worth it!
