Detailed itinerary

Your desert adventure begins with a convenient pick-up by our professional safari guide from your hotel or selected location. Sit back and relax in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle as we head towards the stunning red sand dunes of Lahbab Desert. Upon arrival, get ready for an adrenaline-filled experience as you take control of your own quad bike and ride across the vibrant red sands – a thrilling way to kick off your desert safari!

After the quad biking session in Lahbab, we’ll continue our journey to Al Awir Desert, known for its vast and golden sand dunes. Here, get ready for an exhilarating dune bashing experience with our expert driver navigating the highs and lows of the desert in a powerful 4x4. This thrilling ride offers an unforgettable rush as you glide over the dunes, capturing the true spirit of desert adventure.

Once the dune bashing adventure winds down, you’ll have the chance to experience a more traditional side of desert life with a camel ride in the Al Awir Desert. Climb aboard and enjoy a peaceful stroll across the sands, just like the Bedouins did for centuries. It's a great opportunity to relax, take in the desert landscape, and capture some memorable photos.

Strap on a board, glide down the slopes, and enjoy the thrill of surfing the sand — no experience needed! It’s a fun and safe activity suitable for all skill levels and a perfect way to wrap up your action-packed desert experience.
