Description
Your desert experience begins with pickup from your hotel in a 4x4, driven by a licensed safari guide. Enjoy a scenic 50-minute drive to Lahbab, Dubai’s remote Red Dunes, known for their deep red sands and stunning vistas.
At the desert meeting point, take a short break while your guide prepares the vehicle for off-road driving. Here you can optionally try quad biking before your main adventure begins.
Hold on tight for an adrenaline-filled 30–45 minutes of dune bashing across rolling dunes, ending at one of the highest peaks for a breathtaking sunset photo stop. Try sandboarding down the slopes and enjoy a short camel ride before heading back if you’ve selected the 4-hour option.
Guests choosing the 7-hour option will continue to a traditional Bedouin-style camp. Be welcomed with Arabic coffee, dates, and Lugaimat sweets before exploring a range of activities — henna painting, shisha, camel rides, and photo opportunities with Arabian falcons (seasonal).
Dinner is a lavish BBQ buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, followed by captivating Tanura, belly dance, and fire performances. After the final show, relax on the drive back to your hotel, ending a perfect day in the Dubai desert.
