Abu Dhabi Overnight Desert Safari and Camp, with BBQ and Breakfast

Highlights

• The desert safari, a BBQ dinner, a night camping in the dunes and breakfast, as listed on the operator's list
• Shared transfers from your Abu Dhabi hotel and back, about 18 hours in all
• The stars after dark, a night in the dunes and sunrise over the sand
• For couples, friends groups and photographers who want the desert at night, not just at dinner

Is it right for you?

Seniors

Not advised for seniors: A night in a desert camp with no confirmed bedding or washroom details suits an active traveller better than a grandparent who needs a firm mattress and warmth

Getting around

Little walking

Children

Babies are not allowed on the dune drive where one is included, and a full night outdoors with no camp details confirmed suits older children better than toddle

The story

What happens

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

   Collection from your Abu Dhabi hotel by shared vehicle at the time on your voucher. Your captain confirms the pickup window before you pay.

2. Step 02 The safari

3. Step 03 BBQ dinner and the night

   A BBQ dinner at the camp, then the night in the desert. What the camp provides for sleeping and washing is confirmed with the voucher; we do not describe it until the operator does.

4. Step 04 Breakfast

5. Step 05 Return

   The shared drive back to your hotel, about 18 hours after pickup.

Know before you go

• The operator does not name the camp or describe the tents, bedding or washrooms. Ask your captain to get these from the operator before you pay, especially for older travellers and children.
• Nights in the desert get cold: Visit Abu Dhabi advises campers to pack warm clothing for the night. Bring a warm layer and socks even when the day is hot.
• Dune driving: Visit Abu Dhabi says pregnant travellers should not take part, babies are not permitted because of the speed, and seat belts must be worn throughout. The sheet does not say whether this safari includes dune bashing; your captain confirms.
• Visit Abu Dhabi advises open shoes rather than trainers in the sand, sunscreen, a hat and a scarf, and water (with electrolytes if you need them) for the ride.
• Food: the dinner is a BBQ. Ask your captain to check with the operator what vegetarian or Jain food the camp can serve on your date; do not assume.
• Charge your phone and a power bank before pickup; do not count on charging at the camp unless the operator confirms it.
• Pack light: a small bag with a change of clothes, a toothbrush, any medicines and a torch. Leave the big suitcase at the hotel.
• Availability and the pickup time are confirmed by the operator only when your captain books; a booking can be declined by the supplier for a price change, allocation or stop-sale.
• Prices are per person in INR. GST and TCS on international bookings are shown in your written quote.
