Your experience

Arrival and preparation

Begin your evening desert safari with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman. Travel in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle, guided by experienced drivers, as you leave the city behind and enter the iconic sands of the Arabian desert.

Adventure in the dunes

Depending on your selected option, your driver takes you to either the Awir or Lahbab desert area. Get ready for a thrilling dune bashing experience: enjoy 15 minutes of fast-paced riding in Awir, or for those choosing the Lahbab desert, a longer 30-minute adventure across the iconic red dunes. Stop at panoramic points for sandboarding and photos as the sun sets over the horizon.

Camel rides and sandboarding

Try a short camel ride to experience the traditional mode of desert travel. Sandboarding is also included for those seeking extra fun. Capture memorable moments with a sunset photoshoot on the dunes, ideal for families, couples or solo travelers.
