Description
Get ready for an unforgettable desert adventure with our Dubai Red Dunes Safari, featuring optional dune buggy, sandboarding, and a camel ride. This experience blends thrilling activities with Dubai’s rich desert culture—perfect for first-time visitors and adventure lovers.
Your tour begins with a 1-hour jeep dune bashing ride across the tall red dunes. Our professional desert drivers take you on an exciting yet safe off-road journey, offering stunning views and plenty of photo opportunities.
Next, enjoy sandboarding—a fun and easy activity where you slide down the smooth desert dunes on a board. It’s suitable for beginners and anyone looking for a unique desert experience.
If you select the dune buggy option, you’ll enjoy a 30-minute ride in a powerful desert buggy.
Each buggy is 1 driver + up to 3 passengers, so one person drives while the rest enjoy the ride. It’s a thrilling way to explore the open desert at your own pace.
After the adventure, experience a short camel ride, giving you a glimpse into the traditional Bedouin way of traveling through the desert.
For a complete experience, choose the evening desert camp upgrade. You’ll be welcomed with Arabic hospitality and enjoy a delicious BBQ buffet dinner with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The evening includes belly dance, tanoura dance, a fire show, henna painting, shisha (in designated areas), and cultural activities. Relax under the stars and enjoy the peaceful desert night.
Whether you choose the adventure-only package or upgrade to the full evening camp, this tour offers the perfect mix of excitement and culture for families, couples, friends, or solo travelers.
