Detailed itinerary
1
Get ready for your morning desert safari Dubai as our guide picks you from your selected location or hotel. Board our 4x4 Land Cruiser that will take you to the desert. Once you reach there, take a small break for 20-25 minutes, make use of bathrooms, rest, or even opt for a quad bike drive, while your vehicle readies for the off-road drive with adjusted tyre pressures. Then, seat comfortably for the dune bashing session. Enjoy the rhythm of the vehicle riding over the sand dunes and feel the adrenaline rush! After around 35-45 minutes of dune bashing, click as many photos you want and relax for some time before you proceed for sand surfing (sandboarding). First, follow the instructions of your guide before you climb up and down the sandbanks on your board. As you surf over the sands, you will find this quite funny and unique!
