You waft the yardstick of quality courageously high when you self proclaim a product to be ‘The Perfect Evening’. Especially in Dubai, where there’s no shortage of competition from other evenings with six-star dining, cinematic backdrops and 24 karat opulence. But when it’s a desert experience coming from a source as credible as Arabian Adventures – one of the UAE’s most experienced dunesummiting safari providers – it’s worth taking seriously. Which is why we felt compelled to off-road test the experience and investigate just how perfect it is.
YOUR CARRIAGE AWAITS
This may be a sophisticated soiree but the journey tackles some frontier geography, and on that basis, we need ‘a petrol camel’ as our charismatic guide Faisal suggests, opening the doors of the cherry red Jeep Wrangler, allowing us to gracelessly clamber in.
On the journey towards the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR) – a private gated expanse of sand and shrub that occupies just shy of 5 per cent of the total land area of Dubai – Faisal shares pearls of local wisdom strung together over a long career of intrepid questing.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
