Event type
Desert BBQ evenings
A desert barbecue is a long table outside the city: food, cooler air, and enough time to actually talk. It is one of the easier nights to come to alone.
The next barbecue has its own date and meeting point on Upcoming events. This page does not take bookings.
The shape of the night
You meet the group in Dubai, head into the desert, and spend the evening around food. It is slower than a yacht party and quieter than laser tag. People sit, share the meal, and move between conversations. Hosts make sure newcomers are introduced early, while everyone is still arriving.
It is also different from a desert safari. Come for the barbecue if the meal and the company are the plan. Come for the safari if you want the wider desert programme. They are scheduled separately.
Before you book
Check the listing for what is included, how you get there, and whether the evening is free or paid. Desert nights cool down, even when the afternoon in Downtown felt hot. Bring a layer. If you would rather stay in the city that week, the Saturday social still runs, in a new location.
Questions
- Is food included?
- It depends on that evening. The event listing says what is included in the ticket.
- Do I drive myself?
- Only if that listing says so. Many evenings use a shared meeting point in Dubai.
- Can vegetarians come?
- Ask on the event or message the host before you book, so the food plan actually covers you.
