Description

The experience begins with a pickup from your Dubai accommodation in a comfortable 4WD vehicle, followed by a transfer to Lahbab Desert. Upon arrival, you have free time to relax or take an optional quad-bike ride while the dune-bashing vehicle is prepared.

Next, enjoy a 45-minute dune bashing ride that offers an adrenaline-filled journey across the desert sands. Afterward, try sandboarding on the dunes before heading to Al Khayma camp.

At the camp, settle into your private air-conditioned tent. You will be welcomed with traditional Arabic coffee (Gahwa), sweets (Gaymat), and dates. Then, take a camel ride around the camp and, time permitting, watch the sunset over the desert.

Return to camp for activities such as shisha smoking, henna painting (women only), dressing in Arabian attire for photos, and falconry demonstrations. A barbecue buffet dinner follows, accompanied by live entertainment including traditional dances and a fire show.

After dinner, stargaze using telescopes in the desert’s clear night sky. Later, ride a camel to a nearby camp where you can learn to make Arabic coffee or tea while sitting by a campfire before returning to your tent for the night.

Start your morning with a sunrise camel ride, then enjoy an Arabian breakfast before being dropped off at your Dubai accommodation.
