Experience the most luxurious desert experience in Dubai on the Platinum Desert Safari. This exclusive experience has been meticulously created down to every last detail for discerning guests who seek out the finer things in life.

Explore the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve with a professional Conservation Guide on a wildlife drive in a luxurious Range Rover. Relax in the comfort of the air-conditioned plush leather seats as you are leisurely driven through the reserve to spot native wildlife like Arabian oryx and gazelles. Stop along the way for the best photo opportunities at a Ghaf tree forest in the dunes and visit a remote desert lake which is a beautiful sanctuary attracting an array of migratory birds.

Witness a spectacular world-class falconry demonstration in the comfort of a luxurious lounge set in the desert. Soak up the beauty of an Arabian sunset in the desert with sparkling juice, strawberries and canapes to begin your six-course culinary journey. Just as the last rays of sunlight fade away, enjoy a tranquil camel ride to a charming oasis in the Royal desert retreat where you will spend the rest of the magical evening. Your exclusive setting is in a private cabana beside the desert oasis surrounded by gently-lit trees and set amid the rolling sand dunes.

The fine-dining menu of canapes, soup, salads, entrées, mains and desserts is prepared by our professional chefs on-site in an open kitchen. The gourmet dishes feature roast duck, oysters, grilled salmon, prawns, Australian angus steak with vegetarian and vegan options available. Enjoy top-quality shisha, henna painting and watch the remarkable Flaming Sands of Arabia fire show exclusively performed on this Desert Safari.

This Platinum Desert Safari takes dining in the desert under the stars to the next level! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that only a privileged few will be lucky enough to experience.
