A Founder’s Story: From the Desert to the Boardroom

Explorer Events was born out of curiosity, heritage and a lifelong connection to the outdoors. After finishing my Motorsport Engineering degree in the UK, I came back to Dubai with a simple idea: the region deserved experiences that went beyond standard tourism and tick-box team activities. I wanted to build something that felt real, thoughtful and rooted in the landscapes we grew up exploring.

My first years were spent designing adventure programs for schools and corporate groups. We led overnight expeditions across Liwa, canyoning through Ras Al Khaimah’s wadis and fossil journeys through the ancient terrains of Mleiha. We built multi-day leadership programs and outdoor learning experiences long before “experiential education” became a buzzword.

Everything shifted in 2020.

The world paused, and we used that time to refine Zerzura, our desert experience brand, shaping it into one of the region’s most unique self-drive buggy and private dining operations. As travel restarted, corporate needs evolved. Teams were more distributed. Engagement mattered more. Experiences needed depth, not just logistics.

By 2024, Explorer Events had transformed into a full-service corporate events agency specialising in what the region often lacks: experiences with soul. Today we plan and deliver everything from incentive trips, CSR programs and themed team challenges to large-scale conferences, product launches and gala dinners.


What sets us apart is the kind of experiences we’re able to create.

We’re one of the few companies in the UAE that can run fully immersive, large-format desert events that blend storytelling, adventure and seamless operations. Our team-building experiences aren’t off-the-shelf. We design them from scratch using game mechanics, behavioural insights and the natural landscape as a stage. And because of our roots in expeditions and field operations, our events feel grounded, safe and effortless for clients, no matter the scale.

At the heart of Explorer Events is a simple belief: people connect best when they’re experiencing something real together. Whether it’s 30 executives around a boardroom or 500 employees under the stars in the desert, our job is to create moments that stay with them long after the day is over.
