Stop At: Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Desert Dubai-Al Ain Road - Exit 50, 118887 United Arab Emirates
After about an hour, arrive at the camp and swap your minivan for your private safari vehicle: a vintage 1950s Land Rover. Then, with your private guide at the wheel, head into the surrounding desert in search of nocturnal wildlife.
With your torches illuminating the way, roam the desert as your guide tells you about the animals that become active in the cool temperatures and cover of darkness. Drink in the deep silence and cool desert air, both refreshing contrasts to the heat and bustle of Dubai. Keep a close watch on the headlight beams and use the night-vision binoculars provided to detect movements and zoom in on any animals. Even daylight creatures often emerge in the evening to drink, feed and play - keep your eyes peeled!
