Premium Safari, Camel Ride & Al Khayma Camp 3-Buffets
Insider Tips
Book online in advance to secure the best departure time — the sunset slot around 4pm in winter gives you golden dune light and the transition to stars in one experience. The three buffets are generous — arrive hungry. The camel ride portion is done at a genuine walking pace which makes it much more enjoyable than the rushed versions on standard safaris. The Al Khayma Camp setting is more atmospheric than most desert camp experiences near Dubai.
Insider tip
Description
You'll ride a dromedary through genuine desert landscape—not a theme park setup—then settle into a Bedouin-style camp where the three buffets (mezze, grilled meats, desserts) actually justify the price if you arrive hungry around sunset. The 45-minute drive from Dubai proper means fewer tourists than Desert Safari, so you get actual quiet and better light for photos, though you'll want to book online to skip the markup.
