Description

The Evening Desert Tour from Abu Dhabi described here is operated by Desert Rose on a shared vehicle basis. You will be picked up around 15h30 from your hotel or one of the malls in Abu Dhabi in a 4-wheel drive and will experience some dune bashing, sandboarding, and a visit to a camel farm on the way to the desert camp. There is also the option of quad biking that comes with an additional fee. At the camp you will be treated to a tanoura dancing show, henna painting on hands or feet, a belly dancer, and a BBQ buffet with unlimited soft drinks and water (adults can top up to get alcoholic beverages, except during religious holidays).

Meta review

Desert tours are a very popular activity with travellers to the UAE and the one operated by Desert Rose in Abu Dhabi from mid-afternoon until night time gets excellent reviews. Customers enjoy the good combination of activity, crew professionalism and friendliness, the neat and tidy camp, and deem the experience to be value for money. The main drawback are the average dinner and short duration of the camel ride (which many operators actually only include at an extra fee).

Environmental & Social

Some carbon footprint due to the transport. Socially neutral

Conclusion

The Evening Desert Safari tour in a shared vehicle is, in our opinion, a must do activity for tourists or residents who want to show off the desert to their guests visiting from overseas. Dunes are indeed not ubiquitous on the planet and the experience is a very enjoyable and memorable one. The tour reviewed here is conducted by one of the best operators in the city and offers good value
