It is a well-known fact that Dubai is the city which is obsessed with expensive and vintage cars. It is actually as if by just being in the streets here you are in a mobile car show. Dubai also witnesses one of the most popular international auto-shows, the Dubai Motor Show that comes attracting almost 100,000 car-enthusiast each year.
In addition to such landmarks as Ferrari World and the Emirates National Auto Museum, some of the most impressive cars could be observed in the desert. Particularly in case of a desert experience with Arabian Desert Safari, where the olden day Land Rovers are in the limelight.
The Desert’s First Ride
The land rover series one became the first motorized vehicle that was ventured into the desert sands. It has the long-standing history of being the first motor ever seen by almost the third of the world.
We have this traditional model at Arabian desert safari with a reason. It has strong emotional ties with the cultural history of the UAE and the state of real adventure. To say nothing of, it looks literally gorgeous with golden dunes.
A Living Legacy
No one has a fleet of restored Series 1 and Series 2 Land Rover like we have. The first ones were brought in the deserts of Dubai in the 1950s. Prior to their arrival Bedouins transported themselves on foot or camel.
With the help of these legendary vehicles, we will be trying to refresh the good old days of exploration in the desert. It is not all about the ride, it is the ride into the past. We do take pride on offering genuine desert safaris with vehicles that left their imprints in the history of the region.
Picture-Perfect Classics
These Land Rovers are not only good drive as they also photograph well. The range of colors that we have is a diversity that sets its own beauty to the landscape.
A specialty Land Rover dealer, Ricardo of COOLNVINTAGE once told us that the Series 1 was, and we quote, the shape of freedom and we can not disagree more. It is in the nature of these cars to revive an explorer in any individual.
They are just the right type of people to accommodate in the nature of immersive, heritage-based desert-based journeys that Arabian Desert Safari is famous with.
Built for the Desert
Land Rover is a worldwide brand that deals with off-road excellence today. However, the Series 1 went back in 1948 and was made to compete against the Jeep product. It was also this durable and rough nature that turned it into a fan favourite in no time.
Its capability to overcome sand dunes and rocky roads became the most adequate option in the early desert voyages. The same vintage cars are used at Arabian to take guests through the beautiful dunes of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and into secret royal hideout.
Dubai’s Desert Icons
One of the symbols of Dubai is the picture of an old Land Rover as it cuts through the desert. Tourists, photographers, and the likes alike are drawn and want to find that perfect desert picture – with one of our Land Rovers in it.
Desert (combined with such fixed-up classics) is a very impressive and unique picture. It has endeared them to travel bloggers, movie crews and even international press. We also work closely with the Dubai Tourism who help promote this face of the city to the rest of the world.
Celebrity Approved
Our Land Rovers are popular among travellers, but not only them. There have been various celebrities who have received our desert safaris through the years. Will Smiths, Rebel Wilson, DJ Tiesto and Gwen Stefani are some of the names that have delved with us in the dunes of Dubai.
Our safaris combine the authenticity, adventure and style, not to mention that stars seem to love them too.
A Greener Ride
Old fashioned does not imply wasteful. Actually, refurbishing and repressing these vintage cars is more sustainable as compared to the production of new ones. The Land Rovers have very common spares therefore the repair is not difficult and environmental friendly.
We have reintroduced more than 270 vehicles as opposed to repurchasing and junking them. It saves 270 cars going to the landfill, and this will have a more environmental impact. Comparative wise, a majority of contemporary safari vehicles such as land cruisers and hummers have to be replaced after five years.
Our 25 Land Rovers have already substituted the average of 18 modern vehicles each, which is already a great success in the sanction of sustainability.
More Than Just a Car
Vintage Land Rovers at Arabian desert safari are not just the means of transportation, but the core of the experience. They are an account of adventure, civilization, and survival.
They have turned out as our brand face and a visual landmark in the desert of Dubai. Other passengers are not just people that roll in them, they are also some part of them.
