Desert Nights: A Different Side of Dubai

By Rohan Mehta

Dubai dazzles by day, but its soul reveals itself at dusk, when the city gives way to the great silence of the desert.

A vintage Land Rover carries you over amber dunes to a private camp, where a banquet is laid beneath the open sky and the only soundtrack is the wind.

Falconry displays, stargazing with an astronomer, a lantern-lit dinner — these are the moments guests remember long after the skyline fades.

It is a reminder that even the most modern of cities is only ever a short drive from timeless wilderness.
