A morning desert safari from Dubai with dune bashing, sandboarding, a camel ride, and optional quad biking on the red dunes.

Getting started

Your experience begins with air-conditioned shared 4WD hotel pickup from your location in Dubai city. Once everyone is on board, your professional desert safari driver heads out of the city toward the red sand dunes, so you can reach the desert while it is still relatively cool.

Dune bashing and dune activities

What to expect

On arrival at the desert, your professional desert safari driver prepares the shared 4WD for dune bashing, then takes you across the rolling red dunes at varying speeds. The vehicle stops at a high point on the dunes for a photo stop, where you can step out, look over the desert landscape, and get ready for sandboarding.

Features

Experience dune bashing in a shared 4WD as your driver navigates up and down the sandy slopes, giving you a feel for how the vehicle moves on soft sand.

Use the photo stop on high dunes to capture wide views of the desert and take pictures of the 4WD against the sand.

Try sandboarding down the dune faces, using a board to slide over the sand for short runs.

Camel ride and optional quad bike session

What to expect

After the dune activities, the pace slows down with a short camel ride that gives you a brief taste of traditional desert travel. If you have selected the quad bike upgrade, you then move to a designated area where adults can ride a quad bike (ATV) on the sand under supervision.

Features

Take a short camel ride, mounting and dismounting with assistance, to experience the gentle sway of the animal as it walks over the sand.

For guests who chose the Shared 4WD Morning Safari + Quad Biking option, a quad bike (ATV) ride for adults is provided in a set riding zone, offering a more independent way to explore the sand.

Wrapping up

Once the activities are complete, you rejoin your air-conditioned shared 4WD for the drive back to Dubai city. Hotel drop-off returns you to your pickup point.
