Overnight Desert Safari

An overnight desert safari is an extended version of the regular desert safari experience, where visitors have the opportunity to spend the night in the desert and enjoy additional activities and amenities. It offers a more immersive and in-depth experience of the desert environment.

Here are some key features and activities you can expect during an overnight desert safari:

1. Evening Desert Activities: The overnight safari usually begins in the late afternoon with activities similar to the regular desert safari, such as dune bashing, camel riding, sandboarding, and quad biking. Visitors can enjoy these activities while witnessing the beautiful sunset over the desert.

2. Bedouin-style Camp Setup: As the evening approaches, a traditional Bedouin-style camp is set up in the desert where visitors will spend the night. The camp is typically decorated with carpets, cushions, and low tables, creating a cozy and authentic atmosphere.

3. Barbecue Dinner and Entertainment: At the camp, visitors are treated to a delicious barbecue dinner, featuring a variety of grilled meats, salads, and traditional Middle Eastern dishes. Live entertainment, including belly dancing and traditional music performances, adds to the ambiance of the evening.

4. Stargazing and Bonfire: After dinner, visitors can relax around a bonfire and enjoy stargazing in the clear desert sky. Away from the city lights, the desert offers a breathtaking view of the stars, making it a perfect opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts and nature lovers.

5. Overnight Accommodation: Accommodation options during an overnight desert safari can vary. Some tours offer traditional Bedouin-style tents with comfortable bedding, while others provide luxury camping experiences with fully equipped tents or even glamping facilities. Sleeping under the stars on a comfortable mattress or in a cozy tent is a unique experience.

6. Sunrise Experience: In the morning, visitors can witness the mesmerizing sunrise over the desert. The tranquil atmosphere and the changing colors of the sky create a serene and picturesque setting.

7. Breakfast and Morning Activities: A buffet-style breakfast is usually served at the camp, offering a range of continental and Arabic breakfast options. Visitors can also participate in additional morning activities such as falconry displays, henna painting, or taking a leisurely walk in the desert.

An overnight desert safari allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in the desert environment, providing a memorable and enchanting experience. It is advisable to book through reputable tour operators who provide well-equipped camps, experienced guides, and ensure safety and comfort throughout the overnight stay.
