Time travel in the past and experience the age-old traditions of Dubai with Heritage Safari. It is one of the most popular activities to try in Dubai and won many accolades over the years. The famous Heritage Safari Dubai is different from other desert safaris. It is educational, entertaining, and fun. Dive into the history of Dubai as your Conservational Guide let you explore the nature safari via Desert Conservation Drive. The story of the flora and fauna and how Bedouin people survived in the desert will fascinate you for sure. Cherish the magnificent view of the desert sunset, while enjoying a falconry performance. This is the perfect opportunity for you and your loved ones to click some mind-blowing photographs.
Spend an exciting evening in the Bedouin campsites while savoring the delicious Emirati dinner (which includes mouth-watering starters and a filling main course). Don't forget to try Shisha smoking and watching Yala and Drumming as a part of the Arabian traditions. The Dubai heritage safari doesn't stop here, as you can personalize the tour according to your choice. Choose a one-hour desert safari in a vintage Land Rover, a jeep-like ride that will take you back to when the car was first introduced in Dubai in the 1950s. As the car plunges into the dunes, feel the wind brushing against your face and hair.
Camel rides are also included in the tour, where you feel like a true Bedouin. Besides, camels are a significant part of the Emirati heritage. Alternatively, you can stay overnight in the stone houses and be a part of the hot balloon ride during sunrise.
