The operator’s Bedouin base camp is nestled in a private royal desert retreat in the Dubai Desert Conversation Reserve. Drive through the golden dunes in a vintage Land Rover to discover the native wildlife and hidden stories of the Dubai desert.

Balloon Adventures
Far removed from the glitz and glamour of the city, yet still just a short drive away, these magical hot air balloon rides let you immerse yourselves in the heart of the desert, silently drifting over an endless ocean of shimmering dunes, emerald green oases, and wandering Oryx, gazelles and camels. Witness a breathtaking sunrise against the backdrop of the majestic Hajjar Mountains, and take in the natural beauty of a desert untouched.
Seawings City Tours
Offering a unique birds-eye view of the renowned wonders of the city, couples will feel like VIPs as soon as they step on board their private chartered plane.

Burj Khalifa
At 828 meters, high, the world’s tallest building combines art, heritage and engineering, offers stunning views of the city and is home to the world’s highest restaurant. Indulge in a sunset drink at At. mosphere and take in the breath-taking panoramic vision of Dubai’s desert, sea and cityscapes.
Skydive Dubai
For honeymooners who prefer activities of a more thrilling nature, why not hurl yourselves out of a plane soaring at 13,000 feet above the Palm Jumeirah? Then enjoy the rush of the wind and take in the incredible views over the coastline during your high-speed descent back down to earth.
Ski Dubai
For an offbeat fun-filled day, why not ski down a snowy mountain, in a shopping mall, in the middle of the desert? This indoor ski resort offers 22,500 square meters of snow spread over five runs of varying difficulty, from the bunny slope to the black run, along with a freestyle area for snowboarders and toboggans. Take some time out in the alpine café to sip hot chocolate in minus four degrees or watch the daily march of a colony of snow penguins.
Dolphin Bay Atlantis
For animal lovers, spend some time with the mammals of the sea. Wade into waist-high crystal clear waters and enjoy an unforgettable experience touching, hugging, holding ‘fins’ and playing with dolphins – you may even be lucky enough to get a kiss!

It may seem like a mirage, but this romantic resort hidden in the dunes is a fantasy come true – and just half an hour’s drive from the city center. The options are endless, allowing you to make your stay as relaxing or as active as you like. Top up your tan with a soak in the pool, followed by a refreshing beverage, explore the surrounding dunes with a desert drive or camel ride, or balance out the senses with a meditative treatment or massage in the resort’s indulgent spa.
