Evening Dubai desert safari with red dune bashing, camel ride, sandboarding, BBQ buffet dinner, and live shows at a desert camp.

Getting started

Your shared air-conditioned 4x4 transportation collects you from your hotel with shared hotel pickup and drop-off from selected locations in Dubai. The driver then takes you out of the city toward the red sand dunes, so you reach the desert in time to begin the off-road section of the safari.

Dune bashing and arrival activities

What to expect

The experience begins on the red dunes, where the 4x4 heads off the road for a red dune bashing experience across soft sand and rolling slopes. After the drive, you have time on the sand to enjoy a camel ride and try sandboarding on the dunes before continuing toward the camp area.

Features

Ride in shared air-conditioned 4x4 transportation as your driver navigates the red dune bashing experience over varying gradients of sand.

Join a guided camel ride on the dunes, using the traditional way of moving across the desert for a short loop near the activity area.

Clip into a sandboard and slide down selected slopes on the dunes, using the packed sand as your surface.

Desert camp, BBQ dinner, and live shows

What to expect

Following the dune activities, the vehicle brings you to the desert camp where the evening continues with food and entertainment. You settle in for a BBQ buffet dinner at desert camp, then watch a sequence of live shows including belly dance, tanura, and fire shows in the central performance area.

Features

Help yourself to a BBQ buffet dinner at desert camp, with a spread of grilled items and accompaniments served in a dedicated dining zone.
