Stay the night at a desert resort

If an evening among the dunes isn’t enough, extend your experience with an overnight stay at one of the many luxe resorts in the heart of Dubai’s peaceful desert. The Arabian Dreams overnight safari with Arabian Adventures (AED 895 per person) will take you to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve area where only limited vehicles are permitted. There, you can enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner and a night of ‘glamping’ (upscale, glamourous camping) in the desert. A hot breakfast and drive to see the local wildlife at dawn is the perfect way to finish off your stay.

Also in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve is Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa, considered one of the world’s most romantic resorts, where luxury concierge service Lime&Tonic offers a Desert Romance Dinner package. Set in a private poolside space overlooking the desert, the ultra-exclusive offering comprises a three-course dinner, the services of a private butler and chef, and luxury transfers to and from the resort for AED 2500 for two people. The resort is also well worth staying at for the night, with each suite featuring its own pool and private deck area.

Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa is a picturesque resort designed in the style of a traditional Arabian fort, and located not too far from Dubai’s metropolis. The on-site Al Hadheerah restaurant is an alfresco venue that celebrates fresh, delicious dishes from across the Arabian region, with live cooking stations and traditional wood-fired ovens at the ready. Majlis-style seating areas along with live entertainment, falconry displays, and an on-site heritage museum complete the authentic Arabian experience (it is unsurprising that this venue hosts a very popular iftar during Ramadan). Fixed-price dinners start from AED425 per head, after which you can retire to your room or suite and wake up to beautiful desert panoramas.
