The Original experience
- Enjoy a morning safari in the Dubai Desert
- Feel the adrenaline on a dune-bashing experience in a 4x4 Land Cruiser
- Slide down the sand dunes by trying sandboarding
- Visit the traditional desert camp of Al Khayma
- Ride a camel and learn how they are a key part of Bedouin culture
After pickup from your hotel in a 4x4 Land Cruiser, you’ll head off with your local guide to the desert, just 45 minutes from Dubai. Upon reaching the Lahbab Desert, you’ll have about 20 minutes to relax. For the more adventurous, you can try quad biking, which is an optional activity. Once your 4x4 vehicle is ready, you will hit the desert for about 30-45 minutes of dune bashing. Feel your stomach leap as the Land Cruiser drives up and down the tall red dunes. Marvel at how the vehicle tackles impossibly steep inclines and the uneven terrain of the sand.
Enhance your desert adventure with an optional quad bike ride. Select this activity as an add-on at checkout and choose a bike for yourself or to share with one of your travel partners
After dune bashing, you will have a chance to try sandboarding or simply admire the scenery around you. Make sure you take plenty of photos of the scenic desert landscape.
The next stop is Al Khayma camp, where you’ll be welcomed with traditional Arabic coffee, sweets, and dates. Then, visit a camel farm to learn about how these animals are a key part of traditional Bedouin culture. After enjoying a short camel ride, you will be dropped back at your hotel in Dubai. If you have upgraded your tour to include brunch, be driven to the Al Khayma Heritage House in the Al Fahidi Historical District in Dubai. Here, enjoy an Arabian brunch with a menu consisting of traditional dishes, snacks, and hot and cold beverages (non-alcoholic).
