Description

Start your Dubai Desert Safari with hotel pickup by your licensed guide in a comfortable 4x4, available on a shared or private basis. Travel toward the Red Dunes of Lehbab desert, where golden sands and Bedouin culture set the stage for an unforgettable adventure.

During the 50-minute drive, watch Dubai’s skyline fade into the open desert. On arrival at the Red Dunes base, take a short 30-minute break while your guide prepares the vehicle by deflating the tires. Use this time to stretch, take photos, or enjoy a brief camel ride before the safari begins.

If you selected the quad bike option, this is your chance to ride. Spend 30 minutes on a guided self-drive quad bike at the desert meeting point, exploring the sandy terrain under supervision. Then, continue with 45 minutes of thrilling dune bashing as your expert driver takes you across the rolling red dunes. Stop at the highest point for panoramic photos and try sandboarding down the soft slopes—a fun and safe experience for all ages.

This 4-hour tour is available in both morning and afternoon slots. Both include the full desert experience, while the afternoon option offers the bonus of a breathtaking desert sunset. Choose to join on a shared tour with up to six guests per vehicle, or upgrade to a private safari for a more personalized journey. All vehicles are equipped with safety features including roll cages, seatbelts, GPS, and first-aid kits, ensuring your comfort and security.

After your adventure, relax as you are driven back to your hotel. A portion of your booking supports desert preservation and local cultural initiatives. Choose this tour for a short yet immersive Red Dunes adventure that balances thrill, heritage, and sustainability.
