Why you’ll love this…
  • Spend the morning in the Dubai Desert
  • Experience an adrenaline rush as you go dune-bashing in a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
  • Try sandboarding and go on a camel ride
  • Get welcomed with refreshments - tea/coffee with dates and soft drinks
What to expect

Enjoy a 4-hour morning safari with pick-up from your hotel in a 4x4 Land Cruiser and head off with your local guide to the desert, just a 30-45 minute ride from Dubai.

Along the way, enjoy riding up and down the dunes in the morning sun. Your first activity involves bashing some dunes, driving up and down high sand dunes in the Land Cruiser, to get your adrenaline flowing. Later, have a chance to try sandboarding, one of the most exciting sporting activities in the desert.

Then, go to Al Khayma, and be welcomed by Arabic coffee, sweets (Gawa, Gaymat), and dates. If you'd like, get a camel ride in the nearby area. Finally, be dropped off back at your hotel.

    Everything was brilliant, you had plenty of time to enjoy everything. Camel ride was just enough to say you've done it. Optional extras were brilliant, we did a family quad. Plenty of refreshments available. Driver was great, dune bashing was amazing. Highly recommend.

    Our tour guide Adnan kept us well informed, refreshed and we had a great time! He also took plenty of photos of us on our phones! Well worth doing the quad bike ride as well.

    Unser Guide war spitze, er hat uns auf der Hinfahrt viel über Dubsi erzählt und den Ablauf gut erklärt. Das Kamelreiten und das Dünensurfen dauerte jeweils nur ca.20 Min. Im Camp wird man umzingelt von Verkäufern das war nicht schön. Wasser gab es jederzeit.
