Hidden away among towering dunes, Arabian Nights Village showcases the soul of old Arabia. Created for travellers to experience the magical and timeless beauty of the desert and authentic aspects of traditional Emirati life, this wonderful visit begins with experienced guides transporting you over the dunes to a charming old-world village with all the modern-day comforts.
There are plenty of desert activities for guests of all ages, from camel rides to quad biking, safaris to camel trekking, climbing the surrounding towering dunes to sandboarding, dune bashing with qualified drivers, and much more.
