Desert Safari and Dhow Cruise Combo in Dubai
About This Experience
Get Dubai's two most popular evenings in one booking. On one day you head into the red dunes for an evening desert safari with dune bashing, sandboarding, a camel ride, BBQ dinner and live shows. On another evening you cruise Dubai Marina on a traditional wooden dhow, with a buffet dinner and the lit-up skyline all around you. Booking both together costs less than booking them separately, and you choose the dates that suit you. Both experiences include dinner, so these are two full evenings sorted.
