Overnight Desert Camping in the UAE: Stars, Sunrise and Bedouin Hospitality

If you want more than a few hours in the sand, an overnight desert safari is the perfect choice. You stay at a traditional camp, enjoy dinner and shows, and wake up to a quiet desert sunrise.

The day begins like a regular evening safari, with dune bashing, a camel ride and a sunset stop. After dinner and entertainment, the camp goes quiet and the night sky fills with stars, far from the city lights. In the morning you wake up to breakfast and a peaceful walk on the dunes.

“Nothing beats the silence of the desert and a sky full of stars.”

What To Bring For The Night

  • Warm layers: Desert nights can get cold from November to March.
  • Personal items: A toothbrush, face wipes and any medication you need.
  • Torch or phone light: Useful for walking around the camp at night.
  • Camera: Sunrise and starry skies make for stunning photos.

We did the overnight trip last winter. Bring warm clothes, the nights are chilly!
