Your experience

Experience a desert safari the Emirati way

Start your Al Marmoom Bedouin experience with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Dubai. Before entering Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the largest unfenced natural reserve in the country, you'll switch from a modern car to a Vintage G Class Mercedes 1980s. Soon, you'll be welcomed at a traditional Bedouin Village in Al Marmoon Desert Conservation Reserve with gahwa and sweets. During this experience, you'll get to watch a live coffee-making session by an Emirati professional! You don't have to settle for a whiff of the delectable coffee scent, you can also sip on the richly made beverage. Then, the staff at the camp will narrate fascinating anecdotes and legends about the Bedouin past. You'll also get a chance to see the Arabic cooking style as they make Emirati bread and luqaimat, a sweet dumpling. Get a small henna painting done on your hand as a souvenir from this incredible safari.

Celebrate Emirati food and culture

Tuck into a delicious 3-course dinner at the camp and watch delightful performances that combine modern and traditional Middle Eastern art forms. Guests will also get a chance to don typical Arabian costumes and pose for a photo with the falcon, the UAE's national bird. Your evening will become more glamorous with the onset of the live shows that include a fire show and a Tanoura show. Towards the end of your evening, you'll get to use a telescope to gaze into the evening sky and listen to stories of how the Bedouin used stars for navigation. The staff will then switch off all the lights at the camp - an authentic desert experience in the calm of the evening.
