Thrilling Desert Adventures for Incentive Travel
The Arabian Desert offers an incredible setting for corporate incentive programs. Beyond its sheer beauty, the desert’s varied terrain lends itself to a variety of exhilarating outdoor activities. Here are some of the top experiences we recommend to elevate your incentive travel in Dubai:
Dune Bashing: Ride the Waves of Sand
Strap in and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Dune bashing—a high-octane, off-road experience through the towering sand dunes—brings excitement and teamwork together. Skilled drivers navigate powerful 4×4 vehicles over rolling dunes, creating a heart-pounding ride perfect for thrill-seeking teams. This adventurous activity not only fuels adrenaline but also leaving attendees with an unforgettable shared experience.
Hot Air Balloon Rides: Soar Above the Desert at Sunrise
Few experiences compare to the tranquility of floating over the desert at sunrise in a hot air balloon. As the sun rises over the golden dunes, attendees can take in panoramic views of Dubai’s desert landscape, complete with sightings of gazelles and oryx in their natural habitat. After landing, reward participants with a gourmet breakfast served at a remote desert location. This serene and visually breathtaking experience is ideal for creating personal reflection time and inspiring fresh perspectives.
Camel Trekking: Step Back in Time
Let your attendees experience the charm of the ancient Bedouin lifestyle with a guided camel trek across the desert. This slow-paced journey offers the opportunity to unwind and connect with the natural surroundings—a welcome break from fast-paced corporate life. We can customize the experience with stops at traditional Bedouin camps, where attendees can sip Arabic coffee and taste local dates, gaining insight into the region’s rich history.
Cultural Experiences that Elevate Incentive Programs
Dubai offers more than just adventure—it’s a destination where culture and hospitality shine through every experience. Our incentive programs at Destination Arabia seamlessly blend adrenaline with immersive cultural moments that leave lasting impressions.
Exclusive Bedouin-Style Dinners Under the Stars
Wrap up a day of adventure with an exclusive dinner in a traditional Bedouin camp. Picture your attendees seated on plush cushions beneath the night sky, surrounded by flickering lanterns and the sound of soft oud music. Guests can enjoy a feast of Middle Eastern delicacies such as mezze platters, grilled meats, and rich desserts, all prepared by top chefs. The evening can include live performances, from belly dancing and tanoura dancers to fire shows, creating a magical ambiance that offers the perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment.
“There’s nothing quite like sharing stories around a bonfire under the stars. Our exclusive Bedouin-style dinners offer a sensory experience that embodies Dubai’s cultural heritage, leaving a lasting impact on attendees.” – Jestine Alfred, Destination Arabia
Tailored Adventure Programs Beyond the Desert
While Dubai’s desert is a must-see, Destination Arabia also offers a range of customized adventure experiences across the city and its surroundings.
Luxury Yacht Charters Along the Dubai Marina
For a more relaxed yet luxurious experience, treat your incentive winners to a private yacht charter along Dubai’s glistening coastline. With stunning views of iconic landmarks like the Atlantis the Palm, Royal Atlantis, the Burj Al Arab and the Palm Jumeirah, this activity provides the perfect mix of networking, relaxation, and exclusivity.
Desert Safari and Falconry Experience
Incorporate a traditional falconry demonstration into your desert safari. Attendees can watch and participate in this ancient Arabian art form, learning the significance of falcons in Emirati culture. It’s an incredible hands-on activity that adds depth to the desert adventure, providing guests with an authentic local experience.
Ski Dubai: A Winter Wonderland in the Desert
Dubai is a destination where the impossible becomes reality. Surprise your attendees with a visit to Ski Dubai, the city’s indoor ski resort, where they can trade the desert heat for a snowy retreat.
