Highlights

For a half-day excursion or for a two- or three-day escape on the edge of the Arabian Desert, Dubai's desert hinterland offers something for everyone - from dune bashing to relaxing spas.

Wildlife in a wild landscape

Contrary to popular belief, the desert is teeming with life. Watch out for Arabian oryx, gazelles, desert foxes and birds of prey.

A haven for adventurers

A haven for adventurers

Adrenaline junkies will love a 4x4 desert safari, with an experienced driver who whips the jeep around the sand dunes, hovering on the edge of sheer drops, before dipping safely down sandy slopes.

Experience a taste of old Arabia

Camel rides, belly dancers, shisha pipes and local dishes eaten Arabic-style on carpets under the stars - an evening trip to a Bedouin camp is one of Dubai's top excursions.
