What to expect

  1. Dubai
    50m
    Your journey begins in the afternoon with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in a 4x4 vehicle, guided by a licensed desert safari expert. You’ll leave the bustle of Dubai behind as you travel roughly 50 minutes into the majestic Lahbab Desert, famous for its rich red dunes and timeless Bedouin charm.
  2. 5h
    Upon arrival, enjoy a short camel ride and take memorable photos in the golden sands while your guide prepares the vehicle. Then, brace yourself for an exhilarating 45-minute dune bashing session across towering dunes, led by a trained professional. At one of the highest dune peaks, pause to capture panoramic views of the desert and try sandboarding—an easy, fun activity for all experience levels.

    After the adventure, you’ll be welcomed at a traditional Bedouin-style desert camp for an authentic evening of food and entertainment. Watch the sunset cast warm hues over the dunes before enjoying cultural performances such as belly dancing, Tanoura spinning, and fire shows. Choose between two distinct dining experiences: a buffet-style dinner at a shared table or a premium option with food service to your own private table, ideal for couples, families, or anyone seeking extra comfort.
  3. Dubai
    50m
    This 7-hour all-inclusive experience is perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation, blending dune thrills with traditional Emirati hospitality under the desert sky. After the evening concludes, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation with unforgettable memories of Dubai’s most iconic desert experience.
