Dubai Evening Desert Safari with Red Dune Bashing, 4x4 Pickup & BBQ Dinner

An evening Dubai desert safari by 4x4 with dune bashing, camel ride, sandboarding, BBQ dinner, and live shows at a desert camp.

Getting started

Your experience begins with 4x4 pickup and drop-off from your chosen location in Dubai or Sharjah. The driver heads out of the city toward the red sand dunes, so you arrive at the desert in time for the main dune bashing session and early evening light.

Dune bashing and arrival activities

What to expect

The first stop is the open desert where the 4x4 moves onto the red sand dunes. Here, the focus is on dune bashing in a 4x4 and trying sandboarding on the slopes, with time to enjoy the landscape before continuing to the camp.

Features

• Ride across the red sand dunes during a dune bashing in a 4x4 session, as the driver tackles climbs and descents on the sand.
• Try sandboarding on the dune faces using a board to glide down the sandy slopes.
• Join a short camel ride in the desert area to experience a traditional way of moving across the sand.

Desert camp, dinner, and shows

What to expect

After the dune activities, the 4x4 continues to a traditional-style desert camp where the rest of the evening unfolds. Here you settle in for food, refreshments, Arabic traditional costume photography, and a series of live performances before the return drive.

Features

• Choose your preferred Arabic traditional costume for a brief Arabic traditional costume photography moment at the camp.
• Help yourself to refreshments that include coffee, tea, soft drinks, water, and qahwa throughout your time at the camp.
• Enjoy a BBQ dinner with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, served buffet-style with a variety of grilled dishes.
