Dubai Adventures, an offshoot of Dream Night Tourism LLC, are based in Dubai and offer inbound tourists a choice of desert safaris, dhow dinner cruises and city tours throughout the United Arab Emirates.

Driving up and down desert dunes might not be the most thrilling of adventures but spending a night out on the sand wrapped only in a blanket of stars could be more appealing.

If you don't like the idea of a jeep break-down, there's always the option of sitting behind the camel's hump and let the animal lead you in the style of times gone by.

Choose between morning, evening, or overnight experiences. Evening safaris typically include dune bashing (think roller coaster but in a 4WD), camel rides, traditional entertainment, and barbecue dinners under the stars. The sunrise hot air balloon rides are worth the early alarm call.
