At Arabian Adventures we strive to remain at the forefront of sustainable tourism in the UAE. Best practices in sustainability are at the heart of all of our operations, ensuring that our expert guides, and you - our valued customers - are involved in the protection and preservation of the environments in which we operate; from the impressive cityscapes covered on our sightseeing-tours, to the incredible surrounding desert you visit on our award-winning shared-desert-safaris. Find out more about our part in the protection of Dubai’s varied landscapes, and how you can get more involved by planning your next Dubai adventure with the team of destination experts at Arabian Adventures.
Created in 2003, the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR) is home to many of Arabian Adventures’ safari tours and activities. This spectacular landscape encompasses 225 square kilometres of desert wilderness; forming 4.7% of Dubai’s total land area. Here, find a natural and protected habitat to numerous endangered species of flora and fauna. This includes Arabian Oryx, Houbara, Golden Eagle, Egyptian Spiny Mouse, Vultures, Sand Fox, Short eared Owls, Gordon’s Wildcat, Arabian Hare, Ethiopian Hedgehog and Gazelles; to name but a few of the local residents protected here.
The DDCR maintains strict criteria when allowing any safari activities within the reserve. These include: a safari that focuses on nature and/or culture; Guides to be certified by the DDCR to provide more information on the fauna, flora, geology and cultural aspects of the reserve; and sustainable tourism to be considered on all aspects of any tour, including environmental impact and waste management. All of our Desert Safaris, activities, overnight and other desert experiences take place in the DDCR where only a few operators have access and a portion of your fee supports local conservation projects.
Arabian Adventures: Aihm Internships In Dubai
With our long-standing relationship with the DDCR and key focus on sustainability, the DDCR has granted Arabian Adventures special approvals for our Desert Safaris, including our best-selling Evening Desert Safari in Dubai, and their associated camps which are based there. Also our other, incredible private experiences including The Perfect Evening; for high-end desert dining. Our base in the DDCR has allowed us to continue to protect our natural habitat and desert home. Some of the ways which we ensure sustainability within the reserve is by our zero plastic initiative in which we have successfully removed all single-use plastic water bottles from our desert camp and continue to minimise the impact on the environment via garbage segregation and recycling. In addition, our expert safari guides conduct an extensive quarterly clean-up within the DDCR.
All of the efforts of our extended team at Arabian Adventures to protect our desert ecosystem has cumulated in our being recognised globally for our sustainability efforts. Earlier this year we were awarded the prestigious Travelife Partner award, the leading international sustainability certification in the travel industry, making Arabian Adventures the first company in the United Arab Emirates to have received this coveted award.
In addition to the Travelife Partner award, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) recently awarded Arabian Adventures the 'Safe Travels' stamp, recognising the company for achieving high health and safety standards across its operations in the wake of the global pandemic.
The Best Tours In Dubai That Are Actually Worth Your Money
Want to get more involved? The sustainability efforts don’t stop with us. On one of our award-winning desert safaris, you can be involved in the conservation of the reserve by becoming a ‘citizen scientist’ by recording wildlife observations and reporting them back to the reserve. In addition, every time you book a desert experience with Arabian Adventures, a portion of your fee supports key local conservation projects such as the understanding of the ecology of the Arabian Oryx within the DDCR, and Pathogen Risk Assessment on Arabian felines in the UAE and Oman. With that being said, as you enjoy one of our private-desert-safaris, overnight safaris in Dubai or another of our unique and unforgettable desert experiences, in turn you can enjoy the fact that you have are contributed to the sustainably of Dubai’s beautiful surrounding desert.

We are also a 2021 recipient of the Travelife Partner award, the leading international sustainability certification in the travel industry. This global recognition was awarded to Arabian Adventures for repeatedly demonstrating excellence in sustainability management, supplier relations and customer communications. Arabian Adventures is the first and only DMC in the UAE to achieve this prestigious certification.
Strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, the UAE, made up of seven emirates, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Ajman, has been a meeting place for diverse cultures for thousands of years. First around the Bedouin campfire, and later around the boardrooms and conference centres of some of the world’s most exquisite hotels and offices, this culture, rooted in the warmth of its welcome, still prevails today. From the bustle of souks, to the awe-inspiring skyscrapers, and from untouched desert wilderness to beaches alive with adventure, the UAE remains a land of contrasts, connected by direct flights to over 300 destinations worldwide.
Neighbouring the UAE on the southwest corner of the Arabian Peninsula, surrounded by rich blue waters teeming with life, the Sultanate of Oman is one of the oldest civilisations on earth. Fought over by many including the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans and Portuguese for thousands of years due to its strategic location, it was also once the heart of a maritime empire that reached as far as modern-day Tanzania. Today, Oman remains the oldest independent state in the Arab world and in keeping with Arabian tradition, one of the most welcoming. Thanks to its otherworldly landscapes that include rugged fjords, the kilometre deep canyon of Wadi Ghul and the coastal wonder of the Musandam Peninsula, it was also named one of the world’s best tourist destinations by Lonely Planet.
