Escape the modern cityscape and journey into the heart of old Arabia with the Heritage Desert Safari in a Vintage Land Rover — a signature experience that blends cultural immersion, natural beauty, and luxurious touches in the tranquil setting of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.

Travel in style aboard a restored 1950s Land Rover, once used by the early Emirati explorers, as you explore rolling red dunes and spot native desert wildlife. Unlike commercial dune-bashing tours, this safari is slow-paced and educational, designed to showcase the rich heritage of the UAE’s Bedouin traditions and natural ecosystems.

As the sun begins to set, witness a breathtaking falconry demonstration, a symbol of Emirati pride and skill passed down through generations. Then, continue your journey to an exclusive open-air Bedouin camp, nestled within a royal desert retreat, where lantern-lit majlis seating, authentic Arabic décor, and traditional music set the tone for a magical evening.

Enjoy a sumptuous Emirati-style BBQ dinner under the stars, featuring slow-cooked meats, grilled vegetables, traditional flatbreads, local sweets, and aromatic Arabic coffee. Engage in cultural experiences like henna painting, camel rides, shisha, and even dressing in traditional Emirati attire — all designed to create an immersive and unforgettable night in the desert.

Perfect for couples, families, and cultural explorers, this heritage safari offers more than a desert visit — it offers a genuine glimpse into the soul of Arabia.
