A Unique Luxury Desert Safari Experience with Platinum Heritage in Dubai
If you are seeking an authentic desert safari that blends luxury with culture, Platinum Heritage offers the perfect experience! I recently spent a day exploring Dubai’s mesmerising desert landscapes with them and it was truly magical! #adventure #desert
🐪 Our journey started in the afternoon when we were picked up in a vintage Land Rover. The ride itself was a trip back in time, offering stunning views of the golden dunes and local wildlife like Arabian gazelles. What really stood out to me was their commitment to preserving the environment and Emirati culture. #localguides
Be aware that no dune bashing here, just a smooth ride to take in the scenery.
🌅 We watched the sunset from the top of a dune which made it even more special. Whether you are a photographer or just someone who appreciates natural beauty, this moment is not to be missed. #sunset #photography
⛺️ One of the highlights was the Bedouin-style camp, where we were treated to a traditional Emirati dinner under the stars. The food was delicious, with options for vegetarians, and the live cultural performances like falconry and traditional dance added a magical touch. I also got to try on traditional outfits and participate in camel rides and henna art (all included!) #deliciousfood #culturalheritage
The camp is eco-friendly, and the experience felt intimate and respectful of the desert’s beauty and culture. #sustainability I also appreciate the small group sizes, ensuring a more personalizad and private adventure.
Tips for travellers:
- Dress comfortably: it can get chilly in the evening, so bring a light jacket.
- Book in advance: their tours are very popular and spots fill up quickly!
- Stay hydrated: though they provide plenty of water, the desert heat can sneak up on you during the day.
-Taste the dates: they are a delightful local snack that pairs well with the traditional Arabic coffee (Gahwa) you will be offered.
- Wear neutral colours for wildlife viewing: this not only enhances the experience but also increases your chances of getting closer to wildlife without startling them!
