Spirit of the Sands

Venture into the stillness of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve with a guided safari that explores one of the region’s most protected and ecologically significant landscapes. Travelling by vintage Land Rover, guests follow a nature route through the dunes, with insight into the desert’s flora, Bedouin heritage and native wildlife including Arabian oryx, sand gazelles and desert foxes.

As the sun begins to set, a falconry display unfolds against the skyline, followed by an authentic Emirati dinner served in a traditional majlis beneath the stars. The evening continues with live drumming, Yola performances and moments of reflection under the desert sky — offering a rare connection to place, tradition and time.
