Though the climate may be harsh, the beauty of the Dubai desert is unmatched. In this video, an editor for T+L experiences both the golden dunes and a remote oasis on her modern safari in Dubai. From a birds of prey demonstration to a Michelin starred meal, this safari is a simple camel ride away.

00:00I spent a week in Dubai and this is the coolest thing that I did. We explored Dubai's desert with
00:05Platinum Heritage and while the vintage Land Cruisers looked epic, we opted for a modern
00:09one with AC in the 120 degree heat. We hopped in and had a front row seat to life in one of
00:14the harshest climates on earth. We passed golden dunes and spotted wild Arabian oryx,
00:19including a newborn just a few hours old, still learning how to take its first steps.
00:24Then came a glimpse into one of the desert's oldest partnerships, a birds of prey demonstration,
00:29rooted in over 4,000 years of tradition. As the sun dipped low, we rode camels across the sand,
00:35which, by the way, are way taller than I expected. We arrived at a remote desert oasis with a warm
00:40welcome as we took in reflections of sunset on the water. A Michelin-starred meal capped off the night
00:46with a fire show under the stars, far from city lights. This was Dubai like I've never seen it
00:51before.
