On this desert safari experience, you'll have the chance to ride in a 4x4, try out sandboarding on the desert dunes and enjoy a delicious dinner while stargazing. Your guide will pick you up in an air-conditioned vehicle in the morning from your accommodation in Dubai, after which you'll head for the desert. The experience will start with sightseeing, and you'll be able to spot rock formations such as Fossil and Camel Rock.

Your guide will then take you to the Archaeological Museum in the Emirate of Sharjah, where you'll be able to see historical, cultural, and natural treasures. By nightfall, you'll spend time gazing at the stars and planets, including Mars, Jupiter, and the moon, as an experienced guide tells you more about the night sky.
