Trip overview

Spend three nights in Dubai, move to a comfortable tented camp for one night, then return for a final city night before flying. The camp is a tented accommodation category rather than a star-rated hotel, and this route is intended for November to March.

  • One night in an ensuite desert tent
  • Private 4WD desert transfers
  • Dune drive and sunset stop
  • Sunrise beside the camp
  • Creek Harbour skyline and Marina
