At Bedouin Oasis outside Ras Al Khaimah, the desert compresses distance: a ribbon of sand, a high dune, a premium gazebo set beneath lantern light. Over four hours you move from an air‑conditioned 4WD hotel pickup through wind-sculpted dunes to a remote, candlelit dinner — an evening framed by sunset snacks, henna painting and a private chef grilling Sheesh tawooq, kabab and vegetables under a sky of bright stars.

THE SETTING

Gazebo on the Dune at Sunset

A premium gazebo is prepared in the middle of the desert where you can sit on luxury cushions, watch the sun go down, and dine by flame torches and lanterns while the surrounding silence of the sands settles in.

THE ADVENTURE

Dune Bashing, Camel Ride and Bedouin Camp

The experience pairs a 30‑minute dune bashing drive with a short camel ride and the chance to visit Bedouin tents built with goat hair at the famous Bedouin Oasis camp, giving a short window into desert life before the dinner setup.

THE MEAL

Private BBQ Dinner with a Personal Chef

A private chef prepares Middle Eastern and Asian‑inspired dishes — Sheesh tawooq, kabab, grilled vegetables, Arabic bread and hummus — served as a private BBQ under the stars alongside sunset snacks and soft drinks.

What the day feels like

How the evening unfolds

You begin at your hotel and board a comfortable, air‑conditioned 4WD for the drive into the desert. After arriving at Bedouin Oasis camp — where short camel rides and sand boarding are available — the guide will take you deeper into the sands for the private setup. Expect sunset snacks and fresh fruit, henna painting, and the chance to try a shisha by the bonfire before a chef grills your dinner as torches and lanterns are lit and you dine under a clear, starlit sky. The outing concludes with a hotel drop-off.
