Evening Desert Safari Dubai 
Evening Desert Safari Dubai
When you think of Dubai, it’s easy for your mind to immediately drift to luxury malls, colossal skyscrapers and futuristic attractions. But follow me instead on a different journey, one of thrills, culture and golden hued sands across Arabia. A few days ago, I went on a night Dubai desert safari tour and my goodness, it was not just a Dubai Desert Safari Evening Tour, it was a sensory experience. From the roar of the engine of our 4x4 across the red dunes to the hypnotic swirl of the Tanoura dancer’s skirt under the starlit sky, it felt every moment like a chapter from an Arabian fairytale.
I had done quite a bit of travel research, comparing each option for a Dubai desert safari in the morning or evening. The morning safaris seemed pleasant, of course but the evening desert safari Dubai deals delivered the real magic.''
The deep magic of the desert is the dusk. As the sun goes down, the desert feels alive with gentle winds, a bold sunset, and cooler air that makes outdoor adventures much more enjoyable than they are in the heat of the day. I chose the Dubai Desert Safari Evening Tour
and didn’t regret it.

It took time to sort through the myriad of offers and scan hundreds of evening desert safari Dubai reviews to find the offer that combined a reasonable cost and splendid experience. My package was 150 AED per adult, and I must admit that it cost every dirham.

Alternatively, you can order a perfect private desert safari for 900 AED for four to six people, a perfect option for a family or a company. Moreover, the organization I chose provided free WiFi on board – an excellent option for sending pictures on the road. Like:
Affordable packages starting at AED 150 per person

As soon as our 4×4 Land Cruiser approached the first dune, a surge of rapture coursed through me. Many traveling companion, a professional licensed safari driver, handled the colossal red dunes with surprising ease. It was comparable to riding a giant handmade sand roller coaster.

What was even greater is that our cars had precautionary measures installed. The service for Dubai Desert Safari Evening Tour offered us:

After this exhilarating journey, we were welcomed to a traditional Bedouin-style desert camp with Arabic coffee, sweet dates, and fresh fruit platters. The atmosphere for Dubai Desert Safari Evening Tour was genuine and cozy lovely carpets spread out beneath the shade of big tents, lanterns flickering, and the sweet scent of BBQ wafting through the air.
I strolled about, sipping Arabic tea, testing the henna painting and watching guests ride camels or glide down dunes on sandboards. There also was the sheesha (hookah) for people who wanted to chill like they in Arabia.

The entertainment began once the sun went down. And wow what a spectacle. First the Tanoura dancer, spinning endlessly as a human kaleidoscope. Then the making of fire turned the night electric. Then, the belly dancer came out, swaying in such fluid, rhythmic movements to hypnotic music.
The show on Dubai Desert Safari Evening Tour didn’t merely amuse me it afforded me an appreciation of Middle Eastern culture. Here I am enjoying my buffet dinner during my traveling day including BBQ chicken, lamb kebabs, hummus, salad, rice, even vegetarian.
