Platinum Desert Safari

Experience the combination of luxury and adventure in Dubai on our Platinum Desert safari. This exclusive tour is carefully thought out to the smallest detail for sophisticated and discerning guests who are looking for the most beautiful things in life. Explore one of the UAE's most famous attractions-the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve - with a professional guide in a comfortable air-conditioned Range Rover, relaxing in luxurious soft leather chairs. Look out of the window at the wild fauna of the Arabian Peninsula-Arab antelopes and gazelles. We will have a short stop to take photos against the background of the amazing Gaf trees - Trees of Life-growing among the dunes.

The next point of your safari is a visit to a remote and hidden lake, which is a picturesque haven for many migratory birds.

Witness a spectacular world-class falconry show at the luxury lounge located in the middle of Dubai desert.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Arabian sunset. Sipping a sparkling date juice and snacking on strawberries and canapes, start a real culinary journey-a six-course dinner.

A gourmet menu of main courses, soups, salads, appetizers, and desserts is prepared by our professional chefs in the camp’s open kitchen. The author's menu includes roast duck, oysters, grilled salmon, shrimps, Australian Angus steak with a choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Experience the authentic gastronomic pleasure of culinary delights under the stars of the vast Rub Al Khali desert!

As soon as the last rays of the sun fade, enjoy a peaceful camel ride to the charming oasis of the Royal Camp in the middle of the desert, where you will spend the rest of the magical evening. There you will find an exclusive gazebo surrounded by softly lit trees surrounded by rolling sand dunes.

Enjoy a fragrant hookah in the luxurious Majlis, which is covered with carpets and laid with comfortable pillows. Let us decorate your body with an elegant henna painting. Witness the magical fire show "Burning Sands of Arabia".

Platinum safari in Dubai is an exciting adventure in itself, and in combination with exclusivity, a sense of comfort, and spicy notes of oriental charm it is an incredible pleasure of unforgettable moments!
