Enjoy a morning desert safari with a ride in an open-air Vintage G Class Mercedes 1980s and a traditional emirate breakfast. Pick-up and drop-off to your hotel are included.

Al Marmoom is conducted inside the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, the first unfenced nature conservation reserve in the United Arab Emirates. Once you arrive o Al Marmoom, hop on a Vintage G Class Mercedes 1980s to enjoy a smooth ride over the beautiful dunes. During the 30-40 minute ride, stop in the middle of the desert to take a photo before going to a traditional Bedouin tent to taste an authentic Emirati welcome with sweets and dates. Then, take an amazing camel caravan ride (10-12 mins) and witness the beauty of the desert landscape.

Once you return, watch a live Arabic coffee-making session by an Emirati guy. As you sip on your coffee, listen to the stories about the old Bedouin lifestyle and the culture they hold on to even now. Then, get the chance to have an Arabian makeover and be dressed in a typical Arabian costume (Kandura for men, Abaya for women). If you'd like, you can also take pictures with a falcon in the traditional costume. Before the drop-off at your hotel in Dubai, enjoy a traditional Emirati breakfast to bookend your perfect experience in the desert.
