While Abu Dhabi dazzles with world-class attractions like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi, and luxurious shopping malls, its true soul lies in the vast and timeless desert beyond the city. For those eager to discover this other side of the UAE, the Abu Dhabi Desert Safari with Happy Desert Safari offers the perfect balance of excitement, culture, and natural beauty.
This isn't just a tour—it's an immersive experience that takes you back in time and deep into the heart of the Emirates.
The Journey Abu Dhabi Desert Safari Begins
From City to Sand
Your Dubai desert safari adventure kicks off with a convenient pick-up in a 4x4 from your hotel or residence. As you travel away from the city’s skyline, the terrain transforms into an open expanse of golden dunes stretching as far as the eye can see.
With Happy Desert Safari, comfort and professionalism are guaranteed. Their experienced drivers ensure a safe and enjoyable ride while sharing insights about the desert landscape you're about to explore.
The Thrill of the Dunes: Dune Bashing Adventure
Once you arrive at the edge of the desert, the real thrill begins with dune bashing. Expertly trained drivers maneuver powerful 4x4 vehicles across high dunes and steep descents, giving you the adrenaline rush of a lifetime.
The golden waves of sand create a natural rollercoaster track, making this one of the most exciting and iconic parts of the safari. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning thrill-seeker, dune bashing never fails to impress.
More Desert Fun: Quad Biking and Sandboarding
For those who want to take control of the adventure, quad biking is available as an optional add-on. Ride across specially designated desert trails and feel the rush of navigating through the open terrain on your own.
Or, try your skills at sandboarding—a must-do activity where you glide down the dunes on a specially designed board. It's safe, fun, and surprisingly easy for beginners.
The Golden Hour: Mesmerizing Sunset Views
As the sun begins to descend, the desert takes on a magical glow. The soft golden sands turn into shades of orange and crimson, and the cooling air brings a sense of peace.
Happy Desert Safari makes sure you’re in the right spot to witness and photograph this stunning moment. Watching the sunset over the dunes is not just beautiful—it’s spiritual.
A Cultural Evening at the Desert Camp
After sunset, you’ll arrive at a traditional Bedouin-style desert camp where the rich culture of Arabia comes alive. Designed to provide a truly authentic experience, the camp offers comfort without losing the essence of desert tradition.
Engage in time-honored activities such as:
Camel riding for a taste of ancient desert travel
Henna tattooing by skilled artists
Wearing traditional Emirati attire for photos
Holding a majestic falcon, a symbol of UAE heritage
These activities provide an immersive look into the cultural roots of the region.
Dinner and Entertainment Under the Stars
A highlight of the evening is the lavish BBQ buffet dinner served under the open sky. Enjoy a wide selection of grilled meats, Arabic dishes, vegetarian options, fresh bread, and traditional desserts.
While you dine, sit back and enjoy a lineup of captivating live performances:
