Your guide will pick you up from your Dubai hotel in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle. Upon arriving at the desert, you will stop briefly to adjust tire pressure for dune driving, use restrooms, see falcons, or try quad biking or dune buggy rides.

A trained driver will take you on a thrilling dune bashing experience lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Then you can try sandboarding down the dunes and photograph the desert landscape.

Next, visit the Red Dunes desert for a camel ride before relaxing in a tent with soft drinks, tea, coffee, and dates.

If you choose the 7-hour tour, you will continue to a desert camp where you are welcomed with rose water, Arabic coffee, local sweets, and dates. Activities include camel feeding and riding, falcon interactions, henna painting, and shisha smoking. Evening entertainment such as Arabian horse and camel shows, traditional dances, and a fire show (evening slots only) are included, along with a barbecue dinner featuring vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
