What to expect

4 hoursShared tourMax 200 travellers

Your Dubai desert safari starts when you are picked up from hotel or select location by our guide in the morning. Get seated in the 4x4 Land Cruiser to enjoy a thrilling ride to the desert. Your guide will tell you about the history and facts of the region along the ride.

Once at the desert, the Land Cruiser will take you deep in to the desert for 30-40 minutes dune bashing drive. Gaze out at the golden sands that are being thrashed all over and feel like being in a roller coaster! The next highlight program is sandboarding. This activity doesn’t require any experience in prior. You just follow the instructions of the guide. Your excitement will be high as you slide over dunes after dunes.

Once you are done with the activities, you will then be taken to a typical Arabian desert camp for some much needed refreshments. Here, be welcomed with Arabic coffee, (gahwa, gaymat). Then, it is time for a camel ride on the desert. As you ride on the camel, admire the vast landscapes and feel the allure of the desert. Once you are done with the ride, return to the camp and re-energize yourself with a brunch (light meal).

Once you are finished with your tour, you will be taken back to your hotel.
