It is well-known that before the middle of the 20th century there had been only a vast desert and little fishing villages at the coast. The Arabian Desert is an inseparable part of the Arabian territory as well as their history. This is exactly where the Arabian state was born, with its culture and traditions. Although Dubai is an ultra modern emirate with highly developed economy, we can still come across bedouins’ tents (local nomads) in the desert. No wonder, when visiting the UAE, every tourist should visit the desert.
The desert in Dubai is called Rub El Hali. This is an amazing place with endless orange burning sand dunes. An important road went through the desert – caravans brought valuable fragrances, spices and tissue from South Asia. The climate in the desert is incredibly dry and hot. It is hardly possible to be there in the afternoon, so all the tours are early in the morning or in the evening.
Sunrises and sunsets in the desert are truly incredible. You shouldn’t miss a chance to admire this picturesque view. Moreover, you are going to enjoy various entertainments - desert safari on off-road trucks, camel riding among sand barkhans, visiting bedouins’ camp. For exotic seekers – a flight on a hot air balloon at dawn, dinner at the luxurious Bab Al Shams restaurant with live Arab music and folk show. Choose an option and go on your unforgettable journey in the desert!
