Our tour guide was Qamar who was a very personable and knowledgable guy. From the journey to the desert to dropping us back at the apartment, he made the day seemless with his energy. We didn't plan on the doing the quad biking but glad we did as it was thoroughly enjoyable. Our Kids loved the camel rides and the guide was very good at capturing photos for everyone. The desert safari itself was captivating as the dunes went on forever and were beautiful. You stop off half way to do sand boarding which again is great fun. Thanks again to Qamar for making a once in a lifetime trip even more special.

Your Experience

Morning Pick-Up from Your Hotel

7am onwards

Begin your morning adventure desert safari with a pick-up from your hotel. Your vehicle will be an air-conditioned 4x4 Land Cruiser with a local guide coming along too. You’ll soon reach the Lahbab Red Dunes desert site and have about 25 mins to settle down and use the restroom facilities if needed.

Dubai Desert Activities: It’s Dune Bashing & Sandboarding Time!

8:40am onwards

Once your 4x4 vehicle is ready, take 30-45 minutes to explore the dunes by going off-road at varying speeds and directions. With your vehicle having all the necessary safety features and your driver being a skilled safari driver, focus on just having a great time as thrilling turns and bounces increase your adrenaline. Really, there’s no better way to have a desert safari adventure than to experience dune bashing. Try out sandboarding afterward – sliding down the dunes on a waxed board. Remember, take lots of photos of your time at the dunes.

You can also try out quad biking, should you wish to opt for that ticket option. Drive the spunky beast of a bike by yourself on the dunes and take it in the mesmerizing views around you.

Relax in the Traditional Atmosphere of the Al Khayma Camp

9:30am onwards

Now it’s time for the relaxing part of your energetic morning safari. At the Al Khayma camp, enjoy Arabian hospitality as you sit back and relax with some Arabic coffee (gawa), sweets (gehmet), and dates. Go around the neighboring area near the camp on a camel ride and repeat, if you like - a fitting end to your morning desert adventure.

Drive Back to the City

Depart back to your hotel in an included drop-off.
