This is glamping – camping with style – in one of the world’s most enchanting settings. In Abu
Dhabi’s deserts, even a family excursion or solo trip feels like a once-in-a-lifetime escape.
These premium desert safaris blend Bedouin heritage with five-star comfort for a truly premium
desert stay. Under endless skies and cooling night breezes, the desert rewards you with
serenity and spectacle – a glowing sunset here feels like a private show just for you.

Why the Desert Makes the Perfect Glamping Destination?

The desert is the epitome of luxury: a sweeping canvas of undulating dunes by day and a
cathedral-like ceiling of stars by night. As dawn breaks, the horizon ignites in soft pinks and
golds, offering a peaceful sunrise experience before the world awakens.

After sunset, a cool breeze drifts across the sands, bringing relief from daytime warmth and
inviting you to unwind in a plush camp set up anywhere among the dunes. Equipped with
attentive staff to cater to every whim, these camps blend seamless service with complete
immersion in nature. In the deep silence—save for whispering winds—stargazing becomes a
transcendental ritual, making the desert an unforgettable glamping haven.

The Glamping Experience

After a day of exploration, glampers return to a luxury desert camp. Here are some highlights of
a premium desert safari:

Lavish Accommodations: Step into your Bedouin-style tent and be embraced by plush
mattresses layered with rich throws and oversized cushions. Handwoven carpets soften each
step as lantern light dances across the canvas walls. At night, the hush of the desert and a
gentle breeze lull you to sleep, while dawn’s first light reveals endless sands beyond your flap.

Exquisite Cuisine: As night falls, the camp fills with the aroma of a barbecue feast. Expect a
buffet of grilled meats, salads, breads, and sweets – all served under lantern light. Hot kahwa
(Arabic coffee) and sweet dates are offered as traditional welcome treats, while dinner often
includes an unlimited selection of beverages. Enjoy a hearty breakfast in the morning as the sun
peeks above the dunes, making the tranquil dawn scene part of your meal.

Cultural Entertainment: The camp comes alive after dark with authentic Arabian-themed fun.
You can get a henna tattoo, try on traditional costumes, or have a falcon photo-op to embrace
the local culture. Dancers perform Tanoura (whirling skirt) and belly dances around the campfire.
Hookah (shisha) pipes are set up on cushions under the stars for a relaxed smoke. Camel rides
around the camp provide a link to Bedouin tradition – early-morning camel treks over soft dunes
are a common activity.

Nighttime Magic: Far from any city lights, the desert sky is extraordinary. Guests often lie back
on rugs and gaze at the Milky Way, marvelling at how many stars fill the heavens. This quiet
stargazing session around a crackling fire is a once-in-a-lifetime experience in itself. Combined
with the luxury of a warm bed in a tent afterwards, you’ll sleep under the stars yet wake up in
comfortable privacy – a perfect fusion of wild and wonderful.

A Desert Experience for Everyone

A desert glamping getaway can be tailored to any traveller. Romantic escapes often feature
private tents for two and candlelit dinners on the sand—ideal for honeymoons or anniversaries.
Couples can snuggle under blankets to watch a fiery sunset, then dance under stars to
traditional music.

Families love the variety: kids zoom around on sand buggies and paint their fingers with henna
in a safe, guided setting that’s both fun and educational. Solo travellers thrive here too—quiet
moments invite reflection and photography, while communal dinners are a great way to meet
fellow adventurers.

No matter who you are, the desert feels inclusive. Its golden dunes inspire
bonding—whether it’s a family tackling a dune together or friends cheering after sandboarding.
Every guest departs with tales of sweeping horizons and starlit camaraderie.
