Dinner is a highlight of any desert safari. After the dunes and the camel ride, most guests arrive at camp hungry.

## What to expect

A BBQ buffet with grilled meats, salads, rice, bread and side dishes, plus vegetarian choices. Tea, coffee, soft drinks and water are included in our packages.

## Vegetarian and non-veg

Both are served. Vegetarians should mention it at booking so the camp is ready.

## Dietary needs

- Tell us about allergies in advance
- Ask about halal and other requirements
- Children can usually eat from the buffet; ask us about preferences

## Tips

Eat light before the dune drive, as covered in [motion sickness tips](https://abudhabideserttrips.site/desert-safari-motion-sickness-tips/).

See everything included on the [packages page](https://abudhabideserttrips.site/packages/), or [message us](https://abudhabideserttrips.site/contact/).

## What a typical buffet looks like

Expect grilled chicken, lamb or beef kebabs, rice dishes, salads, hummus, bread and a few sweets. Vegetarian guests can usually enjoy grilled vegetables, rice, salads and side dishes. Menus change with the camp and the season, so treat this as a guide, not a promise of specific dishes.

## Drinks

Unlimited soft drinks, tea, coffee and water are included with our packages. Arabic coffee and sweet tea are a good way to try something local.

## Special diets

Allergies, gluten sensitivity, vegan preferences and religious dietary needs should be raised when you book. Camps can often prepare for them if they know in advance.

## Eating with kids

The buffet suits most children, with milder dishes available. Keep them seated near the fire show and bring wet wipes. See our [family guide](https://abudhabideserttrips.site/desert-safari-abu-dhabi-with-kids/) for more tips, and review the [package inclusions](https://abudhabideserttrips.site/packages/) or [message us](https://abudhabideserttrips.site/contact/) about dietary needs.
