Introduction:Dubai’s desert has long been a symbol of mystery, adventure, and Arabian heritage. While there are many ways to explore these golden sands, a premium desert safari takes this adventure to the next level, offering a bespoke and unforgettable journey that combines thrill, luxury, and tradition. In this blog, I’ll share my experience of this extraordinary escapade, where every detail was crafted for comfort and exclusivity.
Why Choose a Premium Desert Safari?If you’re seeking a personalized and luxurious desert experience, a premium safari is the way to go. From private transfers to gourmet meals and exclusive activities, the attention to detail is second to none. Whether it’s for a special occasion, a romantic escape, or simply to enjoy Dubai’s desert in style, a premium safari is designed for those who want to experience the desert with added flair.
Luxury Pickup in Style:The experience began the moment we were picked up from our hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Unlike regular group safaris, a premium safari ensures that you and your group have a private car and driver, allowing for flexibility and privacy. The vehicle was equipped with luxurious seats, complimentary refreshments, and even Wi-Fi to keep us connected.
Dune Bashing with a VIP Touch:Once we arrived at the desert, our adventure kicked off with a thrilling dune bashing session in a top-of-the-line 4x4 vehicle. Unlike the typical bumpy ride of a group tour, the premium experience provided a more refined and personalized version of dune bashing, tailored to our comfort level. Whether you prefer a wild adrenaline rush or a more leisurely pace, the experienced driver customized the ride to our preferences, ensuring both safety and excitement.
Camel Ride and Falconry:After the heart-pounding dune bashing, we were welcomed to a peaceful camel ride, where we could enjoy the stunning desert scenery from a traditional and slower-paced mode of transport. One of the standout elements of the premium safari was a private falconry demonstration. We watched in awe as a falconer showcased the skills of these majestic birds, a practice deeply rooted in Emirati culture.
Private Desert Camp:Unlike typical desert safaris that involve large communal camps, our premium experience included access to a private, boutique-style camp nestled in a secluded part of the desert. The camp was beautifully designed with Arabian majlis seating, plush cushions, and ambient lighting, creating an intimate and serene atmosphere. The attention to detail was impressive, from the personalized service to the elegant décor.
Gourmet Dining Experience:One of the highlights of the evening was the gourmet dining experience. We were served a lavish 5-star meal in our private tent, featuring a variety of dishes inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine. The feast included freshly grilled meats (lamb chops, kebabs, and chicken), traditional rice dishes, mezze platters with hummus, baba ganoush, and tabbouleh, along with a selection of decadent desserts such as baklava and Arabic sweets.
For drinks, we were offered a range of options from sparkling juice to mocktails and soft drinks. Depending on the premium package, some tours also include champagne or a selection of wines, adding to the indulgence.
