Overview

About This Experience

Looking to escape the city’s glitz for a peaceful evening under the desert sky? Raykays Tours’ Dinner in the Desert is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Dubai’s dunes minus the adrenaline of dune bashing. This relaxing desert escape is ideal for guests of all ages, including families with children and seniors.

Leave the thrill rides behind and step into a traditional Bedouin-style camp where culture, cuisine, and comfort come together. From camel rides and henna art to falcon encounters and authentic Emirati hospitality, this experience is a gentle and enriching taste of desert life. The highlight? A delicious open-air BBQ buffet dinner served with refreshing beverages, followed by captivating cultural performances under the stars.
