We shall begin our ride across the dunes after arriving at Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve by boarding the Vintage G Class Mercedes 1980s. Halting in the middle of the desert during our 30-40 minute journey through the reserve, we shall enjoy a photo stop admiring Al Ghaf, the UAE's national tree, and plants like Al Ashkhar. We also have the opportunity to hear about Dubai's history and the significance of desert flora and animals in traditional Bedouin life. While touring the desert, we'll be lucky to see desert animals like Arabian oryx, Ghazals, Falcons, and birds.
Later, arriving in the Bedouin Village, we shall be greeted with Arabic coffee, dates, and luqaimat as part of the traditional Emirati hospitality before the camel caravan ride. Reaching the middle of nowhere in the desert, admiring the beauty of the dunes, we have the opportunity to click beautiful pictures.

Reaching the village, we shall know more about the handicrafts and spices used for desert survival before heading to the live cooking station watching the preparations for traditional Bedouin breakfast.
