The Best Activities to Enjoy During an Overnight Desert Safari

Enjoy the thrill of sliding down from dunes while being strapped on board and maintaining body balance. Sandboarding is a similar activity to snowboarding but done is a completely different environment. Everyone can try this exciting activity on an overnight safari tour regardless of their age. Also, there will be tour guides available for those who are trying for the first time.

ATV Quad Biking

Quad biking is another exciting adventure activity to do on a safari tour. The ATV bikes are specially designed with large tires, a light chassis, and a powerful engine for driving in the rugged and challenging desert terrain.

Remember to wear the safety equipment provided by the tour company and drive carefully. Take a few beginner lessons from the ‘Guided Experts’ if you have never driven a quad bike before. For more tips please read How To Prepare For A Perfect Desert Safari Tour.

Campsite Entertainment and BBQ Dinner

On an overnight safari, you also get to experience the rich culture and hospitality of the locals. After the safari activities, the entertainment session begins at the traditional desert campsite. Here the guests savor some refreshments like water, juices, Arabian coffee, tea, and shisha.

The main highlight of the campsite is the dance shows like the Tanoura dance, Belly dance, and fire shows. There are also henna painting sessions and falconry displays.

There will also be arrangements for a BBQ buffet dinner that contains main tasty local dishes freshly prepared by the locals. After the hectic safari activities like dune bashing, and sandboarding it makes sense to fill the appetite and satisfy the hunger.

Camp Bonfires 

The overnight safari tours are also good for enjoying bonfires and stargazing sessions with friends and loved ones. During the winter months, deserts become chilly, and nothing would be more pleasant than a bonfire at an outdoor location. A bonfire is arranged near the camps. The festivities usually include singing, dancing, drinking, eating, and enjoying every moment of the event. You can even retire to your tent for the night after enjoying the bonfire.
