Detailed itinerary
1
After being picked up from your hotel, you'll head to the desert with your local guide. Once there, enjoy refreshments like Arabic tea or coffee with dates, and take a moment to relax and use the restroom.
Next, get ready for an exciting ATV Quad biking experience in the wide-open desert dunes. Each guest will have their own quad bike to ride. This is not the typical "circuit drive" where many bikes ride in a small, enclosed area (which is better suited for kids). Instead, you’ll get to ride over high dunes for a real adventure.
You can choose the duration of your ride—10, 30, or 60 minutes—based on your preference and budget. Your safety is our top priority throughout the experience
2
Experience a thrilling 4x4 AWD Land Cruiser ride over the golden dunes, with a photo stop included. This adventure is perfect for those who love excitement and adventure, set in the golden sands of the UAE's Arabian desert. Feel the rush as your expert guide takes you on an unforgettable dune ride!
3
Experience an authentic Bedouin-style desert camp. Our camp is located deep in the desert, far from any roads, and only accessible by 4x4 AWD vehicles, giving you a true feel of Bedouin life. Once at the camp, relax in comfortable seating and enjoy a variety of activities like camel rides, sandboarding, smoking hookah (Shisha), getting henna designs, and watching 3 live shows – belly dancing, a fire show, and a Tanura dance performance. End the night with a delicious BBQ dinner and much more!
