What to expect

The adventurous 7-hour desert safari tour will take you to the heart of Dubai’s most popular desert known as ‘Lahbab’. Located 50 kilometres from the city, Lahbab is distinctively known for its sleek red colour sand and its towering dunes which provide a perfect landscape for an adventurous outing. You'll be picked up from your hotel in a 4x4 vehicle; the drive to the desert spot takes about 45 minutes.

Once ready, you'll be taken deeper into the desert wherein you'll enjoy exhilarating dune-bashing as you slip and slide across from one dune to another. After the exciting drive, there is a picture stop atop the highest dune – you do not want to miss this opportunity of snapping Instagram-worthy pictures of a scenic sunset. During the stop, try out an immensely popular sport of sandboarding – this sport is suitable for all individuals, and it does not require any prior experience or training.

Then head towards our Bedouin-style camp, hidden in the heart of the desert. Be greeted with Qahwa (Arabic coffee), dates and Lugamat (traditional sweet) as you enjoy the numerous activities put together in the camp. As the night settles in, enjoy a delicious and luxurious BBQ spread. While enjoying your meal, feast your eyes on a colourful belly dancing show followed by the Tanura performance.

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

    It wasn’t really a camel ride, just a lap round an enclosed pen that last all of 60 seconds which was disappointing.
