First is to arrange a pick up point for the driver to meet you, so for our group (3 people), we met him around 3:30 PM at Deira City Mall. Since the Land Rover car, accommodates 7 people, there's a chance that you will be joining another group inside the car. For our car, we had 4 people riding with us. They were quite cool and friendly too, all from Congo, Aftrica,
 |
| call this number to arrange sight seeing, adventure tours/desert safari tours, city tours, ferrari world, airport pick and drop services or car rental services |
Before the driver brings you to the Desert for the extreme ride, an initial stop is required, as the driver's team will have to meet up and prepare the wheels (reduce air). While waiting, you could enjoy an ATV experience. This ride is not included though in the package payment.

 |
| really WINDY |
 |
| with the lovely couple Arlene and Jose |
 |
| while waiting... |
So the adventure begins, when the group of 5 or 6 cars will ascend to the Desert mountain at the same time, this is needed for the safety of everyone also in case one car is stuck in the desert or any unexpected event happen, there's always an accessible help nearby.

stop over on top of the Desert (at Oman) mountain to take photos
|
I could not take a proper photo due to wind and the sand irritates your eyes
 |
| the sand is really very fine and smooth, I had to feel and experience it of course :) |
 |
| thankful for this couple to bring me here |
 |
| look at the car behind me... |
 |
| that's our car and our very skilled driver |
 |
| sunset |
 |
| this was funny, you either ride a HORSE or a CAMEL, of course I came all the way here to ride a Camel |
 |
| she looks so tired, felt pity about her :( |
 |
| had to use a stool to climb up on the camel, as she's quite tall |
 |
| the 10 minute camel ride experience is in tandem, so behind me is Kuya Jose |
After the extreme ride at the Desert mountain and the Camel experience, they will bring you this Safari camps where you would enjoy watching an entertainment of dancing while eating local dishes for dinner.
 |
| look at the tables prepared for the tourists |
 |
| free henna tattoo |
 |
| the VIP or shall we say those who paid more, will get this sofa chair |
 |
| booths for henna tattoo |
 |
| our starters/snacks |
 |
| first performer |
 |
| i can't imagine how tiring his hands or shoulders, as he was spinning non-stop the cloth above his head |
 |
| 2nd performer is belly dancing |
 |
| last performer is this man playing with fires |
 |
our dinner (included in the package tour)
hmm, I did not like much the food and dessert, except for the chicken bbq
check out my compiled video for a more virtual experience
This experience is a must when you visit Dubai. I really recommend it, its a great memorable experience especially for first timers in Dubai. The desert is an hour drive from Dubai as it is already in Oman! Would you believe you have visited two places in one trip. :)
