Description

Your 7-hour adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your Dubai, Sharjah, or Ajman hotel. Meet your knowledgeable desert guide, who will share insights into Dubai’s culture, history, and landscapes as you make your way to the Lahbab Desert, a remote desert area known for its iconic Red Dunes. Enjoy the views and feel free to ask your guide any questions along the way.

Upon reaching Lahbab, take a short 20-minute break while the guide prepares the vehicle for the desert ride and allows other tour vehicles to gather. During this time, you can opt for an exhilarating quad bike ride (optional add-on), take a restroom break, or simply soak in the unique desert surroundings.

With the convoy assembled, you will journey deeper into the heart of the desert for a 45-minute dune-bashing session. Feel the adrenaline as your 4x4 vehicle glides over the dunes, expertly managed by your safari guide. The excitement culminates at the highest dune, where you will stop for photos. Capture panoramic views of the sweeping landscape. Try sandboarding down the smooth slopes—a fun, beginner-friendly sport that requires no prior experience.

If timed right, relax and soak in the serene desert atmosphere as you watch a spectacular sunset over the dunes, painting the sky in brilliant hues—an ideal photo moment to capture the beauty of the desert.

After the thrill of dune-bashing, head to a traditional Bedouin-style camp nestled in the desert. On arrival, you will be greeted with Gahwa (Arabic coffee), locally sourced dates, and traditional Emirati sweets called Luqaimat. Enjoy a range of authentic desert activities:

• Camel Rides: Take a short, leisurely ride on a camel, an iconic desert experience.
• Shisha: Relax and enjoy a shisha pipe in the ambient camp setting.
• Henna Tattoos: Local artists are available to adorn your hands or arms with traditional designs.
• Falcon Experience: Have a chance to hold a majestic falcon, a prized symbol of Emirati heritage, and capture a memorable photo.

As evening settles in, feast on a delicious BBQ buffet with options including kebabs, hummus, fresh salads, and vegetarian dishes, accompanied by soft drinks. While you dine, enjoy a series of captivating live performances, including:
• Belly Dancing Show: A traditional Middle Eastern dance performance that adds vibrant energy to the evening.
• Tanura Dance: Watch the whirling dervish perform a colorful Tanura dance.
• Fire Show: Marvel at the acrobatic skills of fire dancers in an awe-inspiring performance.

For an enhanced experience, select the VIP table upgrade with exclusive food service right at your table, providing an added level of comfort and exclusivity.

After an evening of exhilarating experiences, dining, and entertainment, your guide will drive you back to your hotel or accommodation, ensuring a smooth and comfortable return after an unforgettable day in the desert.
