    A reply nice experience, with good vibes. Everything was perfect. A special thanks to our gide Saqib, he always took care of us and he made sure that we enjoy the whole experience. A little tip for you, buy the scarf at the second camp after the dessert car ride, it is a lot cheaper 😉 15 AED.

  • Getting started

    Your journey begins with an air‑conditioned 4x4 transfer from your hotel (Dubai, Sharjah, or Ajman) to the Lahbab Desert. Upon arrival, you receive a brief safety and equipment overview before any activity starts.

    Desert adventure

    Experience a 30‑minute dune bashing session in a certified 4x4 that navigates the dynamic terrain of the red dunes. A scheduled stop at the highest dune gives you time for sandboarding and capturing sunset photos.

    Camp experience

    At ATLANTA Tourism Camp, enjoy a short camel ride that offers a taste of traditional Bedouin travel. At the camp, you can join in on cultural activities such as henna painting and traditional costume photography.

    Dinner & entertainment

    Unwind with a BBQ buffet dinner featuring a mix of veg and non‑veg options, fresh salads, grilled meats, and local desserts. Live shows—including belly dancing, Tanoura, and two fire displays—round out your evening (note: live entertainment isn’t available during Ramadan).

    Optional add-ons

    • + 30‑min Quad Bike: Add an extra 30‑minute quad bike ride across deep sand dunes for more adrenaline.

    • + Private Group Transfers: Upgrade to a private AC 4x4 for a personalized journey with no shared stops.

    • + VIP Seating: Enhance your camp experience with reserved seating, dedicated service, and an upgraded dining area.

    Additional details
