Twenty journeys. None repeated twice.
Swiss Arabenture is a private travel house: one founding family with Swiss and Emirati roots, two lands, and a farm of our own in Al Ain. What follows is the shape of each journey, not its logistics. Times, tables and the private doors we open are shared once we compose yours. Soul & Soil.
The Farm at Al Ain
This is the journey no one else can sell, because the farm is ours. The day bends to you; the table does not move: linen, firelight, food from the land itself.
- Dawn at the camel market with a local host
- The oasis walked in quiet
- Jebel Hafeet at golden hour
- The long table, set outside on the farm
- Night on the farm, if you choose to stay
Privatised entirely for you. No menu, no schedule, no other guests. Quoted privately.
Design this privatelyPrivate Desert Dinner. Fire & Silk
The desert empties at dusk. As the last convoys leave, your table is being set on a reserved dune: linen, lanterns, a chef, a fire.
- Private 4×4 into a reserved site at golden hour
- Gahwa, dates, the fire being lit
- A multi-course dinner under the stars
- Fire show, oud, belly dance, or perfect silence
- Return late, or a private camp until morning
The site is exclusively ours for the night. Everything composed per couple or family, down to total silence.
Design this privatelyGolden Hour Reserve
You enter a protected reserve the way travellers did seventy years ago: open-top, in a restored 1950s Land Rover, moving slowly past oryx and gazelle.
- A vintage Land Rover into the reserve
- Falconry with an Emirati master
- Sunset canapes on a reserved dune ridge
- A chef’s long-table dinner, silver service
- Return under the first stars
We choreograph the evening around light. Golden hour is the product.
Design this privatelyLiwa & the Empty Quarter
Three hours south the last town ends and the Rub al Khali begins: dunes the size of hills, silence you can hear.
- South by private car, or helicopter
- The country’s tallest dune underfoot
- A palace among the dunes
- Deep into the sand sea at sunset, a falconer waiting
- Astronomy from the dunes after dinner
Best as one night. We hold palace allocations for festival dates before they vanish.
Design this privatelySummit & Stars
The road up is a destination itself: forty switchbacks into cooler air. At the top the dial is yours: the world’s longest zipline, or straight to dinner above the clouds.
- The ascent, timed to the light
- The zipline, if you want it
- Dinner at the country’s highest table
- An astronomer walks you through the sky
- Descend, or sleep on the mountain
Terrace tables and zipline slots secured weeks out. Calm and adrenaline in one itinerary.
Design this privatelyGold. From Souq to Fire
Everyone sees the windows of the Gold Souq. Almost no one follows the metal backwards, to the door that does not open for tourists: a working refinery, furnaces lit.
- Across the creek by abra, the old way
- Spice lanes and the dealers’ alleys, decoded
- The refinery: molten metal poured and stamped before you
- An assisted purchase at dealer rates, if you wish
- Lunch in old Dubai
The refinery is our proprietary arrangement. We take no commission on gold; that neutrality is the luxury.
Design this privatelyNurai Island Day. The Vanishing Hour
This is not a hotel visit; it is disappearance, arranged. Twelve minutes across turquoise water and phones stop mattering.
- A private boat across, helicopter if preferred
- A beachfront cabana yours alone
- Floating breakfast in your plunge pool
- A spa hour already booked
- A beach table at the exact golden hour
One message replaces five resort bookings. Nothing queued, nothing generic.
Design this privatelyBreakfast with Giraffes
A private table where giraffes lean gently over your breakfast; the morning the family will describe first, for years.
- A private morning table
- Giraffes at arm’s length, keepers beside you
- The park before the public
- A calm afternoon composed to follow
Booked as a private session, paired with the day that suits your family.
Design this privatelyThe Rainforest & Reserve
Inside a private desert reserve, a spa journey moves you through sixteen rooms of warm rain, cold mist, salt and ice. The afternoon belongs to falcons and horses.
- Into the private reserve
- The sixteen-station spa journey
- Lunch inside the reserve
- Falcons, an owl on your glove, archery
- Horseback at golden hour; oryx at dawn if you stay
This day is not publicly sold as a package. We assemble it piece by piece.
Design this privatelyThe Honeymoon Signature
Composed for two, across whichever days and lands you choose, and ending somewhere we will not print.
- Composed privately around you both
- Days of calm, a night under stars
- A finale we keep secret until the moment
- The promise, sealed
The ending is never revealed in advance. Not even here.
Design this privatelySaadiyat Museums & Dinner
One island has become one of the world’s great museum districts, an hour from Dubai. You move at your pace, with a private guide.
- The nation’s story, privately guided
- Lunch beneath the rain-of-light dome
- Immersive, room-scale art
- Sunset dinner: sand or linen, your choice
- An overnight by the sea, if you wish
One booking replaces five. Timed to the light, tables pre-set.
Design this privatelyPearls & Provenance
Before oil, this coast lived on what divers brought up on one breath. At the Gulf’s last pearl farm, the cages come up from the sea in front of you.
- Across the lagoon to the pearl farm
- The cages hauled, the story told
- A shell opened in your hand
- The pearl graded, and yours to keep
- A slow coastal lunch after
A private session at a working farm; the pearl you open goes home with you.
Design this privatelyEast Coast Dhow & Dawn
Where the mountains fall straight into the sea, your wooden dhow slips along cliffs to coves only reachable by water. It is yours until tomorrow.
- Board your private dhow
- Swim before sunset in an empty cove
- Grilled catch on deck as the cliffs turn copper
- A night on the water
- Dawn snorkel; dolphins if the sea allows
Fully private charter. No shared decks, no schedule but the light.
Design this privatelyAncient Sharjah & the Rain
The old heart of the cultural capital is the closest thing the Gulf has to a walled medina. The finale we keep deliberately quiet: a room where a rainstorm falls forever, and you walk through it untouched.
- Coral-stone lanes with a private guide
- One of the oldest souqs in the country
- Lunch in a restored manor house
- Islamic architecture at monumental scale
- The rain, reserved for you alone
The rain admits seven people; we reserve all seven. You will be alone in it.
Design this privatelyMleiha. Archaeology & Empty Dunes
Under these dunes lie a hundred thousand years of human crossings. By day, tombs and fossils with an archaeologist; by night, one of the darkest skies in the Emirates.
- The archaeology centre, privately guided
- Fossil Rock and the red dunes
- Sunset with gahwa and mint tea
- An astronomer and the desert observatory
- Glamping domes, if the night keeps you
Guides, dunes and observatory composed into one seamless evening.
Design this privatelySir Bani Yas. Wild Island Safari
Seventeen thousand animals, free-roaming across savannah that looks airlifted from Kenya, on an island reached by boat.
- The boat across at first light
- A ranger-guided game drive
- Lunch at an island lodge
- Horses, mangrove kayaks, or the beach
- A savannah pool villa for the night, oryx grazing past
The country’s only true island safari. We sequence it so a single day misses nothing.
Design this privatelyFalcon Balloon Sunrise
In the dark, the balloon inflates like a waking animal. You lift as the sun breaks the horizon; then the moment no guest forgets: a falcon released at altitude, circling the basket in free flight.
- Collected in the dark
- A sunrise flight over the dunes
- A falcon flying beside the basket
- Landing met by a camel caravan
- A gourmet breakfast in a Bedouin camp
We hold the falcon-flight departures and pair the morning with a spa or a farm afternoon. September to May.
Design this privatelyGrand Prix VIP Weekend
Early December, the season ends here, and the whole island becomes a stage. We build the weekend around your race.
- Arrival and island check-in
- A private desert dinner the night before
- Race day in paddock-level hospitality
- The after-race concert
- A slow museum morning after
Hospitality sells out months early; we buy allocations and bundle what no ticket site can.
Design this privatelyHatta Heights. Hike, Fire & Sleep
Ninety minutes out, the mountains rise like another country. A golden-hour hike, then back to a terrace where a chef is already at the fire.
- A guided ridge hike above the water, tuned to you
- A chef fires the grill on your terrace
- Stars, fire, silence
- A dome, a caravan or a hillside lodge
- Kayak the dam at dawn
Three ways to sleep, one journey. October to April.
Design this privatelyThe Private Safari & Arabian Table
The largest safari outside Africa is an hour from Dubai, and almost nobody knows you can cross it in your own private vehicle.
- Your private vehicle enters with a guide
- Giraffe, oryx and lion by daylight
- The savannah, an hour from home
- A stylish Arabian dinner as the park falls quiet
Private-vehicle access composed with the park; the dinner is ours.
Design this privatelyEvery journey here is a starting point. Tell us who is travelling, and we compose the rest privately.
