Bedouin Culture Safari Dubai

Immerse yourself in the ultimate cultural experience with this hands-on desert safari. See first-hand how the Bedouin lived and survived the desert – by camel and even by vintage Land Rover.

At a nomadic-inspired camp, you will meet with Bedouin storytellers and a friendly Saluki dog and falcon. Learn how our Emirati ancestors used to herd, hunt, and thrive by using their resources. Experience a traditional Emirati breakfast and join in authentic Bedouin performances.

This experiential morning is sure to give you insight into the rich culture and heritage of the United Arab Emirates and the people that made it the beautiful country it is.

Arrive at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and receive your Adventure Pack (Headscarf and Stainless Steel Water Bottle). These are included in each booking and can be taken home with you. Traverse the desert, like a true nomad, by camel to an authentic Bedouin village. The camel ride is 15 minutes long, and each camel can accommodate two guests.

Explore a traditional village with Bedouin tents, cooking stations and farm animals. Get friendly with a Saluki dog and engage in a 25-minute falconry performance. Savour a traditional Emirati breakfast and learn how it’s prepared. Listen to Bedouin storytellers and learn more about their rich heritage. Partake in a traditional dance performance with young locals. Embark on a nature Safari in a vintage Land Rover (60 minutes).
