About this experience

Leave Dubai city and travel into the desert. Head off road into dunes and, with a trained driver at the helm, enjoy a dune bash. Carve up the dunes and hold tight as your 4WD slips back down.

After a sunset photo stop, try out sandboarding. Grab a supplied board and feel the thrill of surfing down high dunes. Then, continue to a Bedouin-inspired tented camp, where Arabic coffee and sweets await.

Duly refreshed, take your pick from the activities on offer: ride a camel, wear Arabic robes for souvenir photos, get a henna tattoo, or enjoy an optional water pipe (shisha). Alternatively, up the pace by renting a dune buggy or quad bike (additional cost) to zoom over the sands.

Finally, enjoy a barbecue buffet and watch belly dancing, fire, and Whirling Dervish (tanoura) performances before your outing ends with a hotel drop-off.
