Leaving behind the bustle of the city in the afternoon, the safari guides will take you on an exhilarating journey over the rolling dunes deep into the heart of the desert. From the crest of a high dune, watch the setting sun cast its orange glow over the vast expanse of rippling sand all around you. Like a shimmering mirage in the distance, you will see the flickering lights of your camp where a traditional Arabian welcome will await you. The encampment conjures up images of Arabian nights.

For instance, one cannot overlook the community’s care of privacy that can be felt in the scarcity of the front windows, their narrowness, and highness. It can also be seen in the winding and twisting alleys and pathways, and all the district buildings facing southwest towards the qibla. There are also a few values and principles that will unravel once you experience the Al Fahidi neighborhood for yourself. The Iconic Dubai Creek area is the home to many Museums, including the Newest Shindagha Museum, where visitors may delve into the vibrant history of Dubai. It was developed as part of an initiative to transform the creek into a regional culture and traditional center. The Shindagha Museum tells the universal tale of human innovation, resilience, and the desire for progress which shaped the Dubai of today.
