Overview

No visit to the United Arab Emirates is complete without a trip to the desert. However, if you are looking to try something a little different than a traditional desert safari, our Wadi Adventure is guaranteed to do the trick. Taking you to the best-hidden gems and awe-inspiring sights, this is one journey you’ll never forget.

The full-day adventure begins as our experienced and professional safari guide picks you up from your hotel in a private four-wheel drive Jeep. You’ll be whisked off to the magical desert of Dubai for a day filled with exciting explorations and unforgettable experiences.

Immerse yourself in the incredible landscapes, as you drive across mesmerising desert dunes and explore beautiful wadis. Our knowledgeable safari guides are eager to inspire you with fascinating facts and spectacular stories about the desert, whilst you take in the scenic views around you.

Once you’ve reached Sharjah and the archaeologically famous area of Mleiha, it is time to explore Fossil Rock. Visible from more than 25 kilometres away, this huge rock formation is one of the most interesting natural sights in the United Arab Emirates. You’ll feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city, as you’re surrounded by cragged landscapes straight out of a science fiction movie.

Your journey continues to the nearby Mleiha Archaeological Centre, where you’ll get a better understanding of the rich history of the UAE, and what the early life in the desert looked like.

The next stop will take you to Ras Al Khaimah where you’ll enjoy your time at Wadi Shawka, one of the most spectacular tourist destinations in the country. Comprising of the Wadi Shawka pools and dam, the incredible site is located in the Hajar Mountains. The historical area is home to several abandoned settlements which are protected heritage sites. The Wadi Shawka pools are naturally formed, due to the heavy rainfall as well as the rugged terrain the area boasts.

As you make your way to the Buhais Geological Park, you’ll have a chance to learn about local rocks and fossils. Take your time enjoying the outdoor trails complete with viewing areas, ancient burial grounds and extraordinary rock formations.

As you drive towards Wadi Al Helo, one of Sharjah’s many enclaves, you can enjoy the scenic views of the Old Kalba Road along the way. The word “helo” means sweet, so the valley, listed to become a UNESCO Heritage Site, is called The Sweet Valley. The area boasts incredible biodiversity, providing a home to several species of birds, rodents and reptiles. The valley includes awe-inspiring historical sites, such as ruins and graves as well as evidence of what life used to look like thousands of years ago.

Your adventure is complete with a picturesque lunch stop on the beautiful East Coast, where you can recap your amazing experiences, whilst enjoying a delicious lunch box provided by us.
After a day of discoveries, you will be driven back to your hotel.
