Curated Desert Experiences: Private Dune Dining & Falconry

There are few travel moments as timeless and transcendent as watching the sun dip behind golden dunes, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of oud, and a falcon soaring through the twilight sky. In the UAE, the desert isn’t just a landscape—it’s a living story of heritage, elegance, and wonder.

With Hi DMC, this story is told your way. Our curated desert experiences blend the grandeur of the natural world with private luxury touches, from fine dining under the stars to one-on-one falconry showcases. Whether you're seeking romance, reflection, or cultural immersion, we design each evening around you.

Why Choose a Private Desert Experience?

The desert can be crowded and commercial—or it can be utterly private, profoundly peaceful, and deeply luxurious. Our bespoke desert offerings offer:

• Secluded locations far from the tourist track
• Majlis-style lounges, private tents, and ambient lighting
• Fine dining with curated menus by top chefs
• Private falconry shows with experienced handlers
• Add-ons like live oud music, henna artists, and camel rides
• Seamless transfers and concierge services from hotel to dunes

Hi DMC elevates the traditional desert safari to a tailored Arabian night—one that respects local culture while delivering world-class comfort and exclusivity.
