Dubai Desert Adventure

This was another highlight of the tour.

We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the Dubai Desert Conservation Area, (a national park).

The tyres of our twin turbo 350 horsepower Landcruiser were deflated and we were off through the sand dunes (see the video!). It was pretty hairy, but fun and just as well I hadn't told Debbie about this part of the night beforehand, as otherwise I may have been on my own.

We stopped for photos on the dunes and also to see the sun set over the desert, which was quite special. Along the way, we saw gazelles and white oryx.

Our final stop was the desert camp, with camel rides and a BBQ dinner (massive) of traditional Arabian foods.

The night finished with Emirati dancers, including a fire dancer and a belly dancer, before being taken back to our hotel.

Put it on your bucket list for when you are in Dubai!!Read more
