At Arabian Desert Safari, our mission is simple yet profound: to preserve Dubai’s cultural heritage and protect its natural environment for future generations. From operating the only fully solar-powered desert camps to contributing over 1 million dirhams toward desert conservation, every initiative reflects our commitment to sustainability. Whether it’s offering authentic experiences or educating young minds through free tours for local charity schools, we focus on making a meaningful impact.
Our eco-friendly business model allows us to showcase Dubai’s desert beauty while prioritizing conservation. Here’s how our sustainable practices and desert safaris create a lasting, positive difference in Dubai:
Wildlife Drives in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve
Unlike traditional dune bashing, which accelerates desertification and harms desert ecosystems, Arabian Desert offers eco-conscious wildlife drives. As the first and only safari company to provide this experience, we prioritize preserving Dubai’s fragile desert environment.
Led by knowledgeable Conservation Guides, our wildlife drives follow designated tracks within the protected Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Guests enjoy an enriching experience, learning about native flora and fauna while immersing themselves in the beauty of the desert.
For added uniqueness, the Arabian Desert features classic vintage Land Rovers, offering a nostalgic journey through time. For those seeking luxury, the Arabian Desert provides a wildlife drive in premium Range Rovers, combining comfort with sustainability.
Eco-Heritage Desert Camps
Our desert camps are recognized as the most sustainable in the industry, winning accolades at the Dubai Sustainable Tourism Awards 2019. Built within a royal desert retreat, the camps reflect traditional Emirati architecture, constructed from natural materials like wood, stone, and goat hair.
Platinum Heritage stands as a pioneer in renewable energy, with all camps operating on solar power. In addition to sustainable energy, we follow robust recycling and waste management practices to minimize our ecological footprint.
Preserving Emirati Cultural Heritage
One of our core principles is reviving and celebrating the rich Emirati culture. We take guests on a journey back in time, where they experience the authentic traditions of the Bedouin nomads who once thrived in the Arabian desert.
From vibrant desert camps to live demonstrations of Bedouin customs, every element is designed to give visitors an authentic look into Dubai’s history and heritage. Guests can engage in storytelling, falconry, and traditional entertainment, creating a cultural immersion like no other.
Authentic Local Cuisine
Food is a gateway to culture, and at Platinum Heritage, we bring Dubai’s culinary traditions to life. Unlike other desert safari providers, we specialize in showcasing genuine Emirati cuisine.
During our Morning Desert Safaris, guests indulge in a traditional Bedouin breakfast featuring regional favorites, such as Chebab bread and Balaleet. The Evening Desert Safaris offer a grand 4-course dinner with highlights like lamb ouzi, camel stew, and kibbeh.
This culinary journey doesn’t just serve delicious meals—it educates guests about the cultural significance of each dish, offering a deeper understanding of Dubai’s food heritage.
Other Sustainable Efforts
Platinum Heritage’s sustainability goes beyond wildlife drives and solar-powered camps. Here are a few of our additional eco-friendly practices that support a greener future:
- Recycling Initiatives: Reducing waste through efficient recycling systems.
- Education Programs: Offering school programs to educate young minds about conservation.
- Desert Clean-ups: Organizing regular efforts to remove waste and preserve desert beauty.
- Refillable Water Bottles: Eliminating single-use plastics with sustainable alternatives.
