Private Morning Desert Safari Dubai: Vintage Mercedes G-Class Tour

Summary

Heritage Desert Safari with Camel Trek & Bedouin Breakfast

You’ll get up close with Dubai’s desert life on this private morning safari—ride in a vintage Mercedes G-Class, meet Bedouins, spot wildlife, and enjoy breakfast under open skies. It’s not just sightseeing; it’s real hands-on experience with local culture and nature.

What’s the experience like?

The sun was just starting to warm the sand when we rolled out into the Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve. Our guide, Faisal, greeted us with strong Arabic coffee—honestly, I could smell the cardamom before I even stepped out of the car. The old-school Mercedes G-Class felt solid but open to the breeze, and you could hear nothing but the tires crunching over sand and the odd bird call from somewhere behind a bush.

We stopped at a small Bedouin camp where an older man—Ali—showed us how they used to make bread over hot coals. He laughed when my first attempt stuck to the pan. There were camels waiting nearby, all decked out in colorful blankets. Riding them through the dunes was slow and peaceful; you really notice how quiet it is out there, except for the occasional grunt from your camel or a distant falcon’s cry. Breakfast was simple but filling: dates, fresh flatbread, and eggs cooked right there on a metal plate.
