Detailed itinerary

Our friendly tour guide will pick you up directly from your hotel to begin your journey to the Lahbab desert, one of the most secluded desert locations in Dubai. The drive will take approximately 45-50 minutes, during which you can engage with your knowledgeable guide. Feel free to ask about Dubai's rich history, vibrant culture, traditional cuisine, significant landmarks, and much more. If your pickup is near the downtown area, you’ll also get a glimpse of the iconic Burj Khalifa as we pass by.

After the photo stop, make your way to our Bedouin-style camp, nestled deep in the desert. Upon arrival, you'll be warmly welcomed with Qahwa (Arabic coffee), dates, and Lugamat, a traditional sweet treat. Immerse yourself in the array of activities available at the camp, including camel rides, Shisha pipe smoking, and getting a Henna tattoo. You can also browse through the souvenir stand, where you'll find unique and exotic ornaments to take home for your loved ones. Don't miss the chance to take photos with a majestic falcon as well. As night falls, indulge in a sumptuous BBQ feast featuring kebabs, hummus, and salads, all accompanied by a selection of soft drinks. If you prefer, you can also purchase alcoholic beverages from the bar. While you enjoy your meal, be entertained by a vibrant belly dancing performance followed by the mesmerizing Tanura dance, adding the perfect cultural touch to your unforgettable desert experience.

Finally, after the last show, we will head back to Dubai and proceed to drop you off at your hotel.

Stop 4

After arriving in Lahbab, you'll have a 20-minute break while the guide prepares for the adventure by deflating the tires and waiting for the rest of the convoy to gather. During this time, you can choose to ride a quad bike for an extra thrill or simply take a restroom break. Once everything is set, you'll head deeper into the heart of the desert for an exhilarating 30-45 minutes of dune bashing, where you'll experience the thrill of sliding and gliding across the towering dunes. After the adrenaline-pumping ride, there will be a stop at the highest dune, offering the perfect opportunity to capture stunning, Instagram-worthy photos of the breathtaking desert sunset. While you're there, you can also try your hand at sandboarding, a popular desert sport that's fun for everyone and doesn't require any prior experience or training.
