Visitor tips
Al Khayama Camp is nestled within the Lahbab Desert, which lies roughly 26 miles (42 kilometers) southeast of Dubai's city center. The drive from Dubai typically takes around 40 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
Reaching the vast desert might seem daunting, but with us, it's a breeze! We offer round-trip transfers on all our safaris, making your journey as comfortable and enjoyable as the adventure itself.
Choose your style:
- Direct Hotel Pick-up: Relax and let us come to you! We'll pick you up directly from your Dubai hotel at a pre-arranged time, whisking you away to the desert and back again after your safari.
- Convenient Meeting Points: Prefer a central location? No problem! Choose from several designated pick-up points around the city and hop on board. We'll ensure you arrive and depart at the agreed time.
- Avoid heavy meals: Opt for something light and easily digestible at least 1-2 hours before your safari. Spicy or greasy food can lead to discomfort during bumpy rides.
- Skip sugary drinks: Stick to water and avoid sugary beverages that can dehydrate you under the desert sun.
- Overnight Safaris: Expect a feast! Breakfast buffets with Arabic specialties, picnic lunches for sunset excursions, and candlelit dinners under the stars with delectable local dishes.
- Wear lightweight, breathable fabrics: Wear long sleeves and pants. Protect yourself from the sun and sand with loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants.
- Sturdy sneakers or hiking boots are ideal for navigating the uneven terrain and sand. Avoid sandals or flip-flops that can offer little protection.
- Sand and jewelry don't mix well. Opt for simple, durable accessories that won't get lost or damaged.
- Travel light. Pack what you need for the day as most desert camp facilities are basic.
- Stick with the Group: Don't wander off alone, especially at night. The desert landscape can be disorienting, and safety comes in numbers.
- Footwear Focus: Wear sturdy shoes with good ankle support for dune bashing and sandboarding. Blisters are no fun in the sand!
- Respect Wildlife: Keep a safe distance from desert animals, especially snakes and scorpions. If you see one, alert your guide immediately.
- Listen to Your Guide: Your guide is your desert expert. Heed their instructions and safety advice, especially regarding weather conditions and dune driving.
- Desert Essentials: Pack a torch (headlamp ideal!), insect repellent, and a basic first-aid kit. Wet wipes and hand sanitizer are lifesavers after sandboarding!
- Bonus Tip: Download offline maps and essential apps before you go. Google Translate can be a lifesaver for basic communication.
