On visiting Dubai, as a westerner, I thought that one of the best experiences to do was a desert safari.
There are plenty of similar options on the Internet and a choice is not easy. Because of the uniqueness of their tours and excursions, finally I booked with Platinum Heritage, a company awarded the prestigious World Travel Award multiple times.

So, on board of a beautiful vintage 1950 s Land Rover (part of the UAE history) and escorted by our professional guide Mehdi, we started our journey inside the exclusive Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a place that offers stunning landscapes of sand dunes and desert fauna (while it may not look like it at first glance, the desert is teeming with life).

After a beautiful sunset, our day ended with a delicious Emirati cuisine dinner under the stars of a traditional Beduin camp. A day to remember.
(for the record, activities such as falcon show, camel ride, shisha, henna tattoos, etc. were included too)
