Description

Begin with hotel pickup in Dubai and travel to the Lahbab desert in a 4WD vehicle. Once there, enjoy free time to relax or take a quad bike ride while your dune bashing vehicle is prepared.

Experience an exhilarating 45-minute dune bashing session over the desert sands. Afterward, try sandboarding on the dunes.

Proceed to Al Khayma camp and settle into a private air-conditioned tent. Enjoy traditional Arabic coffee (Gahwa), sweets (Gaymat), and dates. Take a camel ride around the camp and watch the desert sunset if timing allows.

At the camp, engage in shisha smoking and henna painting. Dress in traditional Arabian attire for photos alongside a falcon.

Dinner is a barbecue buffet with live entertainment including traditional dances and a falconry show. After lights out, use a telescope to stargaze in the quiet desert.

Later, take a camel ride to a nearby camp for a fire-side experience, learning to prepare Arabic coffee or tea. Relax by the campfire before returning to your tent for the night.

Awake early for a camel ride to enjoy the sunrise over the desert. Return for a freshly prepared Arabian breakfast, then transfer back to your Dubai accommodation.
