During your desert safari, you must be comfortable, so you must wear light clothes made of linen or cotton. 

Light colors don’t absorb the heat so much, thus keeping you cool even during high temperatures.

Since your safari starts at 2.30 pm, wearing a long-sleeved top and full-length trousers is still better so your skin is not exposed. 

If you wear shorts, you will accumulate sand in uncomfortable places.

Flip flops or sandals work better than shoes because sand gets into closed footwear, making walking uncomfortable.

You will need the shades till the sun loses its bite just before it goes down the horizon. 

Carry warm wear like sweaters, cardigans, etc., to manage the temperature drop as the sun goes down. 

Nighttime temperatures in the desert can drop to 5 °C (41 °F); the coldest time is usually 3 am to 5 am. 

Here are a few tips to make your nighttime safari in Dubai memorable – 

• If you have a camera, get a tripod because the night sky and the sunrise make for beautiful photographs
• Carry a small bag with towels and basic toiletries
• Except for your mobile, leave all the electronics at your hotel as there are no electrical points at the camp
• Pack your prescription medicine if you have any

Here are some frequently asked questions about Overnight Desert Safari in Dubai.

Evening Desert Safari in Dubai

Price varies by vehicle, group sizes and other selections

This is the ultimate desert safari experience in Dubai. On an Evening Desert Safari, you will discover the magic and charm of the Dubai desert, experiencing a world of natural wonder, indigenous wildlife, and Bedouin culture.

Full description

The Evening Desert Safari is a signature Arabian Adventures experience. Set in the heart of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, you will always remember the night you spent watching the sunset over the desert, spotting Arabian Oryx and Gazelle roaming in their natural habitat, and feeling the rush of adrenaline that comes with a 4x4 dune drive in a branded Land Cruiser.

Away from the record-breaking skyscrapers and beautiful beaches of the city, there’s a desert world from which the Dubai we know today was born. Home to the origins of Bedouin culture, a world of indigenous wildlife, and a range of thrilling activities that can only be experienced on the dunes, your time on the Dubai desert will leave you feeling like you’ve discovered a brand-new world.

Every activity on your Evening Desert Safari creates a memorable night in the heart of the desert. The journey begins with a pickup from your hotel or residence. Our team will drive you to the DDCR, where your Evening Desert Safari takes place. From here, your evening of activities begins, with a range of thrilling and enriching excursions included before a BBQ dinner in a traditional Bedouin setting and transfer back to your location.

Throughout your Evening Desert Safari, there will be multiple opportunities to spot the indigenous wildlife that call the DDCR home. As you will discover on your safari, the DDCR is a protected conservation space in which local flora and fauna are given a space to flourish. Get your cameras ready, as there will be plenty to spot while you’re with us.

The Evening Desert Safari is for adventure seekers looking for a truly unique experience to add to their Dubai itinerary. Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, there’s nothing that compares to a night on the desert dunes. We look forward to welcoming you to our home for an evening you’ll always remember.

Tour Reviews

This was one of the most interesting experiences I’ve ever had, and I’d want to thank Dubai Adventures for providing excellent customer service. My buddies and I had a terrific night, and the entire process was hassle-free. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities, as well as the cuisine, the outside setting, and the tents. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I would gladly repeat if given the option.

There were many tourists in the camp for the overnight desert safari, and once the entertainment and dinner were complete, they all went (around 8 PM). After that, the true camping experience begins. At 12 a.m., the light goes out and you’re alone in the desert with your tent. To avoid the crowds, we tried camel and quad biking in the morning.

This was one of the most memorable moments of our trip to Dubai. Aside from the standard amenities, I would definitely advise staying overnight in the desert. When the lights go out, you can feel the immensity of the cool desert sand beneath your feet and the brilliant constellations above you. I can’t recall the last time I saw such a beautiful night sky! The thrilling dune-bashing in those 4×4 Land Cruisers was a blast! The food was of good quality. Thanks to the team of Dubai Adventures

Overnight Desert Safari in Dubai faqs

How cold does it get at night in the desert.

The air over a desert is extremely dry and the humidity is very low as well. To moderate the temperature of the earth, the most significant greenhouse gas is water vapour. Because the desert has so little water, the ground is unable to retain its heat. This makes the desert cooler by up to 7 degrees Celsius at night as compared to the coast.

15 Best Desert Safaris in Dubai

By Maresa Manara

A desert safari is one of the best ways to experience Emirati culture. From quad biking over sand dunes to camping under the stars to taking a sunrise hot air balloon tour, here's our pick of the very best desert safaris in Dubai. Ante up the adrenaline, and dive on in.

Bedouin Life, Falconry, and Wildlife Drive by Platinum Heritage Arrow

While this tour’s selling point is that it lets guests "experience life as a Bedouin nomad," being picked up at your hotel door in a luxury Land Rover sets things off on a more comfortable foot. Camels will take you to the Bedouin camp in time for sunrise, and the wildlife safari in the Desert Conservation Reserve, which stops to see local animals, is once-in-a-lifetime. Guides are great: they’ll help you prepare traditional Arabic dishes (Ful medames, Arabic bread, and desserts) and explain the ins and outs of local Arabic dancing.

Overnight Safari by Rayna Tours & Travel Arrow

Drivers take Al Awir road into the desert for some dune driving and photos at sunset. From there, head to the camp for camel rides. Next up, there’s a belly dancing show and open bar, henna painting, and a fire show. However, it’s the overnight experience that is truly special. Once all the other guests have left, guides set up camp with sleeping bags and blankets, and a special star gazing talk. Watching the sunrise from your camp over breakfast is unforgettable. If you pre-book, guides will stop for some sand skiing and quad biking opportunities on the way back to Dubai.

Evening Desert Safari by Atlanta Safari Dubai Arrow

There’s something magical about venturing into the desert at night, and this late afternoon-evening safari is no different. This is the kind of tour where guests feel completely looked after. Once everyone reaches camp, there are pre-dinner snacks, henna tattoo opportunities and live dance shows. The buffet barbecue dinner (couscous, fresh salads, lamb roasted below ground, grilled prawns, chicken and apricot stews) is one of the best we’ve had on a desert safari.

Overnight Desert Safari and Hot Air Balloon flight by Platinum Heritage Arrow

Luxury safaris don’t get much better than this, and the hotel pick up in an open-top vintage Land Rover’s your first clue. As you leave the city behind and head for the desert, guides regale guests with tales of Dubai’s history, as well as a run-through of local customs and traditions. Once you reach the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the tour turns safari, African-style. The camels that take you back to your Arabic tent in the evening are an extra special touch, and the early morning hot air balloon flight is a magical experience.

Dune Riders (Adventure Unlimited) by Dream Explorer Dubai Arrow

Adventurous travelers make up this tour’s tribe. Once you get to the desert, there’s a swift safety briefing and then you’re off: dipping and diving over sunburnt sand dunes, some of which lie at a stomach-dropping 90 degree angle. The trip happens in convoy, so there’s no need to worry about ending up lost in the middle of the desert. An hour of sand boarding adds extra thrills.

Quad Bikes Safari by Red Dunes Desert Safari Arrow

There’s nothing quite like charging over dunes and across the desert on your very own quad bike. Everyone is picked up at the hotel, and driven 30 minutes to the quad biking spot in the desert. While this certainly isn’t the most luxurious, or in-depth desert safari, it’s ideal for anyone who wants to experience local Arabic culture and have a bit of adventure on a short time frame.

Hummer H2 Safari by Sand Trax Dubai Desert Safaris Arrow

This four-hour tour begins with a hotel pick up in a huge white Hummer, which will whisk you out to the desert. Drivers are super organized and run you through the itinerary: thrilling dune drive, photos at sunset, a barbecue dinner, belly dancing, a dizzyingly good whirling dervish, shisha, and Arabic coffee so strong your spoon stands upright in it. Most people do desert safaris in a Land Cruiser, so the experience in a Hummer is completely different, and novel.

Desert Safari by Arabian Nights Tours Arrow

The adrenaline charge that bumping over the steep sand dunes gives you is amazing, but it’s the post-drive camp time that really stands out. Rather than the usual all-you-can-eat buffet and barbecue, this camp offers shawarma – a typical Arabic dish of ground meat, falafel or chicken with vegetables and fries, served in a wrap. There are opportunities to get henna tattoos or watch a belly-dancing show, or just spend time with friends at the table, before being driven back to your hotel.

Morning Desert Safari with Sand Boarding by Arabian Expedition Arrow

If you get to bed early, a desert safari in the morning is rather special – and this one with Arabian Expedition is one of the best. The drive over Dubai’s undulating dunes is fun, with experienced drivers navigating some hair-raisingly steep drops. Once you've caught your breath there’s sand boarding, with a guide showing you to how whizz down the slopes.

Desert Safari by Adventure Leisure Tourism Arrow

Adventure Leisure Tourism offers plenty of safaris, but their straight up desert safari is by far their best—and the range of activities included is far more eclectic than most. This activity-led tour will take guests dune bashing, on a camel ride, and through a whirlwind of cultural experiences, with a variety of shows you won't see elsewhere. For an extra fee, guests can add quad biking to the mix.

Flying Carpet with Dinner for Two Safari by Orient Tours Arrow

This romantic tour runs on request for parties of two. Things kick off with a dune drive in one of their luxury Jeeps, before you’re taken to a very impressive lump of sand for a sand-boarding lesson. A local camel farm follows, and finally a well-deserved private barbecue dinner at a desert camp, with performances. The pre-dinner falcon show is great, but it’s the whirling dervish performance that really captured our imagination.

Sunrise in the Desert Safari by Tribal Trail Tourism Arrow

Anyone wanting a personalized tour will love Tribal Trails’ early morning take on the desert safari. This tour is popular with families and older travellers who rise early, but are still up for an adventure, and the option to request a private car is part of the appeal. Drivers are attentive and kind, and safety conscious: a boon when navigating the rollercoaster-like dunes, and when strapping guests into sandboards.

Premium Sundowner Dune Dinner Safari by Arabian Adventures Arrow

A desert safari is one of the best things to do in Dubai, and this is the crème de la crème. Jump in the Land Rover and make for the desert, where you’ll get to experience a sunset dune drive in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (knowing a portion of your ticket goes to conservation). A glass of bubbly calms any post-dune-bashing nerves, as does kicking back on Arabian-style blankets with a shisha pipe. Of course, don’t forget to enjoy the dinner: an Arabic-style buffet and barbecue that are well worth writing home about.

Exclusive Morning Safari by Funtours Arrow

A cheerful morning pick up sets the tone for this family-friendly tour. Guides are smiley and informed – and they’re great drivers, too. There’s a definite game plan, with exactly 20 minutes of dune driving, followed by a camel ride and a short but sweet sand boarding session. Ideal for anyone with a short window to experience Dubai’s desert, this tour checks all the boxes.

Evening Red-Dunes Desert Safari Dubai by OceanAir Travels Arrow

This full-day desert safari packs adventure in, making it possible to experience the best of the desert in just a day. The dune bashing is great, but it’s the sand surfing that’s the real highlight. Guides show you how to soar down the dunes, before everyone piles back into the Land Cruiser and heads to the desert campsite. Anyone with leftover energy can head to the camel rides, but there’s henna painting and shisha pipes waiting on the colorful Arabian carpets, too.

24 Best Things to Do in Dubai

From exploring traditional souks to skiing indoors, here's how to get to this know this dazzling city.

In Dubai , it's possible to chill on the beach, stroll in the desert, and have a cocktail at the top of skyscraper all in the same day. “Dubai’s got a glorious magnetism to it," says Nada Badran, a Dubai resident for more than 30 years and experience curator and tour guide with Wander With Nada . "There’s so much palpable energy in the air, and every day the city offers a new opportunity for creative fulfillment."

Despite the above, Dubai is sometimes shrouded by misconceptions, says Isabella Sullivan, founder and editor of Near+Far , a travel magazine for modern Middle East travelers. “The first misconception is that it’s all glossy, fake, and superficial, which couldn’t be further from the truth," she told Travel + Leisure . Another misconception is that it’s not a safe place to visit. On the contrary, Dean Hayter, travel product manager at Origin , says that “living in Dubai is the safest I have ever felt in any city."

So if any of the above has kept you from booking a trip to this vibrant city, you can set your mind at ease. And once you've arrived, here are the best things to do in Dubai.

Learn about local coffee culture.

The Arab world is known for its coffee — from traditional Turkish coffee to modern delights like cereal lattes — and Dubai has myriad cafes in which to get your daily fix. “[There are] so many cool, unique, artsy, and design-led coffee shops," says Sullivan. "Some have beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces, while a new slew of them have moody interiors and unique, immersive themes." Sullivan’s favorites are The Grey , Nightjar Coffee and Tom&Serg .  

Cruise Dubai Creek.

In the past, Dubai Creek was part of the trade route connecting ports in the Arabian Gulf. Today, it's a beautiful way to see the city , and one of Hayter's top suggestions in Dubai. “Go to Dubai Creek before sunset and hire an abra (traditional wooden boat) for a private cruise," Hayter says. "When you're in the middle of the creek and the sky turns pink and the call to prayer fills the sky, it is magical.”

Go stargazing in the desert.

Fascinated by the night sky? Book a night safari with ecotourism company Platinum Heritage , which includes guidance from an astronomer and use of a telescope. “The sky is so dark that you get to see the most incredible blanket of stars," says Hayter. "If you're with an astronomer who can explain everything you're looking at, it's an amazing experience."

Play a round of golf.

Golf may not come to mind immediately when planning a vacation to the Middle East, but Dubai has several recognizable courses, including The Emirates Golf Club – Majlis Course , which is considered one of the best in the destination. Kelvin Cheung, chef partner at Jun’s and a Dubai resident for two years, suggests checking to see if any of your credit cards include free rounds of golf as a perk. Note that the best time to golf here is between November and March, when the weather is more comfortable.

Relax at a Dubai beach.

“Dubai has some great and uncrowded public beaches, where you can just enjoy the warm Arabian sea and sunshine at no cost,” says Sullivan. Try Kite Beach, since it also offers fantastic showers and bathrooms, plus a handful of food stands and coffee shops. For an extra treat, rent a Careem bike and cruise along Kite Beach’s lengthy boardwalk.

Enjoy the diverse dining scene.

Between the innovative design of its restaurants and the exceptional diversity of its culinary offerings, Dubai is a fantastic place for foodies. When planning your meals, consider chic restaurants like Amazonico , which takes you on a sensory journey through the Amazon; SEVA , a laid back, plant-based cafe within a wellness center; and Jun’s , a fusion restaurant with the Burj Khalifa skyscraper as its backdrop and where the chef aims to introduce himself to each table. “The city offers a wide range of flavors and textures, and truly pushes boundaries," says chef Cheung of Jun's. "Because the Dubai food scene offers top-quality food and service in every corner of the city, my team and I stay motivated to deliver excellence with every experience. There are very few places in the world that cater to such a diverse set of people.”

Indulge in the facilities of a luxe hotel.

Visiting a world-class hotel in Dubai and enjoying its wellness offerings is a must. “Dubai has so many gorgeous hotels, and more often than not, you can purchase day passes to enjoy their facilities, including beaches, pools, and spas; some also have tennis and padel courts,” says Sullivan. "Apps like Privlee and Viya are great for tourists and residents; you pay a fee and have unlimited access to partner hotels, beach clubs, and gym facilities, so you can try somewhere new every day.”

Get lost in the streets of Old Dubai.

“I am probably at my happiest when wandering in Old Dubai’s streets, sikkas (alleys), and souks , which are swarming with activity," says Badran of Wander With Nada. "The labyrinthine souks are where everyone wants to sell you something; ‘Shakira’ and ‘professor’ are heard countless times, as vendors appear to have unanimously agreed it's the best way to capture customers’ attention. People duck into beckoning small shops where stools are commonplace, as is a cup of chai, and every transaction involves a lengthy bargaining debate. Sounds of carts mingle with scents of aromatic spices and musky perfume."

Explore Al Serkal Avenue.

Al Serkal Avenue is an industrial warehouse district that has been transformed into a creative hub. “It’s an oasis of art, community spaces, and all things quirky," says Badran. "To visit is to be transported to another world of art galleries, cozy cafes, boutique shops, and plenty more." The venue's galleries are open to the public at no cost, and it's fun to wander here even if you’re not an art buff.

Go on a desert adventure.

Tour through the desert in a 4x4, or go extreme off-roading in a dune buggy or on a quad bike with Expert Rangers . And if you want the full Arabian desert experience, book the package that includes sandboarding, camel riding, an Arab dinner, and entertainment.

Get the best view of Dubai.

If you're a thrill seeker, consider a dive with Skydive Dubai . Divers fall 13,000 feet through the sky over the Palm Jumeriah — what a memory to take home with you.

Book a traditional spa treatment.

A hammam is a traditional cleansing ritual that involves hot steam, a revitalizing scrub, rhassoul clay, and vitamin-E rich products — you are bound to exit this experience feeling the softest you’ve ever felt. We recommend booking a hammam treatment at the Guerlain Spa at the One&Only The Palm.

Head to Hatta.

Hatta is in the Hajar Mountains, about 60 miles outside of Dubai. This is the perfect place to appreciate nature — go for a hike with spectacular views, kayak in the reservoir, or mountain bike on designated trails. There's also a heritage village that’s home to restored traditional houses and a defense tower.

Scuba dive in a pool.

Deep Dive Dubai isn’t your typical swimming pool — it’s the deepest in the world at about 197 feet deep. Scuba, freediving, and snorkel courses are offered here, and if you're already certified, you're welcome to explore this underwater world designed to look like a sunken city.

Visit the Museum of the Future.

This building is an architectural wonder in shape and design. The exterior is wrapped in Arabic poetry, and the structure's circular shape represents humanity while the abyss in the middle signifies the indefinite future. Inside you will find immersive exhibitions that ask observers to reflect on the world, the future, and themselves. Purchase tickets in advance, as the museum is a popular attraction and day-of tickets aren't always available.

Visit Expo City Dubai.

This venue is a future-forward miniature city that maintains much of what was offered during the World Expo (Expo City was part of the exhibitions, which took place in 2022, delayed due to the pandemic). The sustainable city offers educational experiences and attractions that revolve around global topics, plus multiple playgrounds and parks .

Spend a day at Dubai’s newest resort.

Beyonce performed an exclusive show for the opening ceremony of Atlantis The Royal — what a way to get the world's attention. This ultra-luxurious resort is worth checking out, even if you aren’t staying the night. It’s home to eight restaurants helmed by celebrity chefs (including Nobu by the Beach), a sky-high infinity pool, a club with panoramic views of the skyline, and dozens of other experiences.

Book a tour with Wander with Nada.

Nada of Wander With Nada is a fun and peppy guide, sure, but she's also incredibly knowledgeable about Dubai, and therefore just the guide you want to get to know the destination. Choose from several tour options, including one that highlights Dubai landmarks and another that focuses on Old Dubai.

Party at a beach club.

Beach clubs in Dubai are worth the hype, with Twiggy by La Cantine and Nammos being two of our favorites. Rent a cabana or beach chair and spend the entire day (or just a few hours) soaking in the sun with a drink in hand, listening to vibey beats.

Shop in Dubai Gold Souk.

The streets may as well be paved with gold in Dubai's Gold Souk , a fascinating marketplace with nearly 400 vendors. You will see gold of all karats and styles, from simple to elaborate. Note that if you do plan to purchase something special, don’t be shy about negotiating for a better price, as that is custom here.

Shop in a Dubai mall.

Dubai has no shortage of malls, where you'll find just about every brand you can name. Visit Dubai Mall to see one of the largest malls in the world (it's also home to the Dubai Aquarium); the textile souk for traditional shopping; or the Dubai Design District (D3), which is home to pop-up fashion boutiques and rotating art installations.

Go skiing indoors.

If you can dream it, Dubai can execute it, and Ski Dubai is proof. Want to ski indoors then step outside into warm weather? This is the place. Maintaining freezing temperatures all year long, this ski resort provides guests with ski suits to keep them cozy. Lessons are available, and there's even a chair lift — and penguins — inside.

Order a tailor-made outfit.

If there’s one thing foreigners may not know about the Middle East, it’s that the tailors are amazing, and that most locals have everything from simple, everyday outfits to wedding gowns tailor-made for them. A trip to Dubai is therefore an opportunity to have your dream design brought to life. Visit the textile souk for fabric, get measured by a tailor, and voila, you’ll have a new outfit within days. Getting fit for traditional dishdasha (for men) or abaya (for women) is a nice way to bring a bit of Dubai home, too.

Ride the Dubai Metro.

The Dubai Metro is an extensive and well-maintained public transportation system that connects major locations in Dubai at an affordable price. Residents typically use these trains for their daily commute, so hop on a train to feel like a local.

How this luxurious dinner in the desert became dubai’s latest craze.

Fire breathing belly dancers are signature elements at the Sonara camp in Dubai.

Immersive and unique travel experiences are big business. Especially when they take place in the desert: Two years ago the global desert tourism market was already valued at $178 billion. And it is predicted to reach $248.83 billion by 2031—a compound annual growth rate of 3.78% from 2023 to 2031 , according to Straits Research.

In the midst of this booming market, Stephanie Reichenbach managed to carve out a niche. The European native moved to Dubai for her role in private banking at Barclay’s. But she eventually decided to become her own boss when she founded Sonara , a novel luxury dinner and event experience in Dubai’s desert.

Stephanie Reichenbach, the founder of Sonara. The 48-year-old originally moved to Dubai for a ... [+] banking job.

Sonara is an acronym for her and her husband’s first initials, as well as her four sons, Neil, Adam, Ryan and Adrian. Not entirely by coincidence, "nara" also means "small, sparkling fire" in Arabic.

Reichenbach’s dinners take place in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a vast, gated area 45-minutes drive southeast of downtown. The DDCR is larger than the country of Liechtenstein or the city of Washington, D.C., and the 87 square miles account for 5% of Dubai’s landmass.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: Design Upgrade Shines In New Leak

Northern lights might be visible again tonight here s the updated aurora forecast, it s possible the russian army is tricking the ukrainian army with a fake offensive.

It was set up in 2003 by the Emir of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktum, to ensure that the area’s Arabian heritage doesn’t get lost during the rapid growth of the glittering city next to it. It serves as a sanctuary for Dubai’s unique desert flora and fauna, like the Arabian gazelles and white oryx.

The rules for visitors are strict; only pre-approved guided tours can enter the gates at specific times and only a handful of chosen businesses operate inside the fence.

Sonara guests arrive at the park a few hours before sunset. Land Rovers shuttle them past seemingly endless golden dunes, until copious amounts of shimmering lights appear ahead: Those are the torches, candles and string lights of the Sonara camp. They almost seem like a Fata Morgana in the middle of the wilderness.

And the magic doesn’t end there: The camp’s setting is reminiscent of 1001 Nights . Burning torches light the paths into the camp, and a traditional oud player delivers Arabian songs while colorfully decorated camels rest in the shade nearby. Large white hammocks sway softly in the early evening breeze, ready to welcome guests.

The Sonara Camp is located within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, an area that also serves as ... [+] a refuge for native animals.

The immaculate attention to detail in the design is unusual for desert tours. As is the focus on a high-end food and beverage concept. That’s for a reason. “I thought to myself: If we have such wonderful restaurants and bars nearby in the city, why shouldn’t we bring some of that into the desert?” Reichenbach says.

Before she launched Sonara, she tested her concept on friends and family. "I began by inviting small groups to dinners under the stars in a part of the desert that is open to the public. And to my surprise, the feedback was always very positive,” she says. "Everyone loved it and my friends kept coming back again and again with more friends."

Camels, Steak And Cocktails In The Middle Of The Desert

One of those evenings, someone told her about the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Reichenbach applied with a business plan full of ideas for Sonara.

“I knew that I wanted to replicate the same concept I had tried on my friends, but on a bigger scale,” she says. ”And I wanted the food, activities and entertainment to be of higher quality than at other places.”

Instead of long lines at a buffet for lentil soup and lamb shanks common in other desert safaris, she dreamt of tuna sashimi and medium rare T-Bone steaks delivered to the table à la minute—preferably on hand-painted ceramic plates.

The dining tables welcome guests with white tablecloths, warm lights set the mood for the dining ... [+] experience.

Traditional non-alcoholic Bedouin beverages, such as warm mint tea and sweetened cardamom coffee, would be served in addition to cocktails that should rival those found on the menus in the best bars in downtown Dubai.

And Reichenbach wanted top-tier entertainment, like rides on well-groomed camels in chic Arabian halters and saddles, as well as falcon and hawk shows and rotating performances of fire breathers, unusual acrobatic acts and belly dancers in elegant outfits.

She aimed for the camp to prioritize sustainability by eliminating the use of plastic and relying primarily on solar power for energy. “I submitted this plan six years ago—sustainability wasn’t a common word found in business plans back then,” she says.

Today around 20% of the heavy machinery relies on generators, the remaining 80% is powered by solar energy.

Kids Have Their Own Menu—And Marshmallows

The camp welcomes up to 250 guests per night, starting at around $180 per person in the off-season. Children pay less and profit from Reichenbach’s experience as a mother of four.

Activities for kids include dune sand-boarding, beach volleyball and soft archery. They can order chicken bao buns and mini Wagyu beef hamburgers from the children’s menu or get a henna tattoo first.

For dessert they gather around a campfire to roast big marshmallows to gooey perfection. Then they head off to a cozy theater to watch movies under the night sky.

"Children here should be able to choose what they would like to do and when. The same goes for adults: I didn’t want anyone to have a strict time schedule," says Reichenbach.

The black angus beef tagliata is served next to a lamb shank with a demi-glace and fresh ... [+] chimichurri-sauce.

The grown-ups can also decide when and whether they’d like to jump on a camel, show off their skills at a desert sport or simply relax in a hammock with a sundowner from the cocktail menu.

Many of the alcoholic beverages were specifically designed for Sonara by some of the city’s best bartenders. One of the most popular is the "Desert Flower,” a combination of tequila, honey, basil, raspberry and pineapple. And the "Nara's Signature,” with bourbon, date juice and a dash of orange bitters. Both go well with the appetizers served during sunset, like the creamy smoked salmon buckwheat blinis, pico de gallo panipuris and mini tuna tacos.

Once the sun has set and the stars are out, it’s time for guests to head to the lower level down a big, wooden staircase. The handrails are wrapped in string lights emanating a warm glow. More torches guide the way to the dinner tables set with white tablecloths and yes, hand-painted ceramic plates.

Waiters serve a three-course family style dinner with 14 different dishes. A typical appetizer is the tropical ceviche from local fish marinated in coconut milk and fresh herbs. Some of the mains are: freshly grilled prawns infused with lemon, coriander and black olives, firewood grilled black angus tagliata and a lamb rack served with a rosemary, thyme and mustard crust.

Sonara’s Success Inspired More Ventures

The Sonara concept worked—the company grew from three employees in the founding year to more than 200 today.

And it has inspired Reichenbach to try a few more ventures. There are two additional camps like Sonara, one for private events and the other further up the coast in Ras Al Khaimah.

The mother company Nara Desert Escape also includes an event and catering business, guided tours through Dubai and boat cruises through the waterways of the Omani Gulf.

The Nest by Sonara is Reichenbach's new venture: A glamping experience in the middle of the desert.

Most recently, Reichenbach added desert glamping to the company's portfolio. Fourteen spacious tents allow guests to spend the night in the sandy wilderness. But they aren’t just your ordinary tent: They all have a bathroom suite with a walk-in shower, high-end furniture, panoramic windows and a tiny fridge with refreshments like a mini champagne bottle. Prices start at $600 per night. Star-gazing and visits from curious gazelles are free of charge.

And her next project is already in the pipeline: a dinner and show evening aboard large traditional dhow boats. "The Dhow by Sonara" will cruise down the Dubai Canal, a three-kilometer-long waterway that runs from the old city center past the ultra-modern Business Bay area.

Her new venture is more than welcome in the emirate where traveler numbers continue to set new records. 17.15 million tourists came to Dubai last year, surpassing the previous peak of 16.73 million in 2019 before the pandemic struck.

They all contribute a large chunk to the economy of the United Arab Emirates. Leisure travel’s value was already at $42 billion in pre-pandemic 2019 and is projected to surge to $62.8 billion by 2028 .

Reichenbach has become a staple player in this industry, without ever needing external financing. She is still the sole owner of her company. But she prefers to stay tight-lipped about revenue: “If I revealed any of those details, my teenage sons would start pestering me for money every day.”
