There’s now another reason to add a few extra nights to your trip to Dubai.

Rixos The Palm Dubai Hotel & Suites has teamed up with Arabian Adventures to give guests staying four nights or more a complimentary evening desert experience.

The offer is available for stays from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, combining a beachfront escape on Palm Jumeirah with an evening out in the Dubai desert.

The experience starts with return transfers directly from the hotel, taking guests out to a family-friendly desert camp.

Once you arrive, there’s a traditional BBQ buffet dinner, two complimentary soft drinks per guest and water throughout the evening. You can also enjoy camel rides, henna painting and access to the surrounding dunes.

As the sun goes down, the evening gets a little more lively, with live entertainment, a fire show, belly dancing and a traditional tanoura performance taking place at the camp.

So, rather than spending your entire stay by the pool, you can swap the Palm’s beachfront setting for the dunes for an evening and experience a very different side of Dubai.

The complimentary desert experience includes:

Return transfers from Rixos The Palm Dubai Hotel & Suites

Traditional BBQ buffet dinner

Two complimentary soft drinks per guest

Water throughout the evening

Camel rides

Henna painting

Access to the surrounding desert dunes

Live entertainment

The experience is available once per stay for qualifying bookings.

If you want to make more of the evening, optional extras including shisha, premium beverages, souvenirs and professional photography are also available at an additional cost.

Available from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. For reservations, call 04 457 5555 or email [email protected]
