Description

Unleash your inner explorer with a heart-racing dune buggy ride through the red desert of Mleiha — where ancient fossils, golden sand dunes, and Arabian heritage collide in one unforgettable day.

This all-inclusive experience starts with a comfortable pickup from your Dubai location in a fully air-conditioned vehicle. As you leave the skyline behind, enjoy scenic views of the shifting landscape until you reach the serene and untouched Mleiha desert region — a UNESCO-nominated area known for its prehistoric secrets and stunning terrain.

Hotel Pickup & Arrival
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the Zerzura team, who will provide a detailed safety briefing and instructions on operating your powerful 2-seater dune buggy. Helmets, goggles, and all necessary safety gear will be provided, and no prior experience is required.

️ Dune Buggy Adventure
Now the real fun begins. Strap in and take control of your off-road buggy as you ride through sweeping dunes, tackling steep drops and exhilarating climbs. The wind, the dust, the roar of the engine — it’s a pure adrenaline experience across some of the UAE’s most photogenic desert landscapes.

Fossil & Heritage Discovery
Next, you’ll stop at the Mleiha Archaeological Centre, where expert guides will walk you through the fascinating fossil beds and rock formations. Learn about the region’s prehistoric marine life, Bedouin culture, and ancient desert dwellers, adding a deep historical layer to your adventure.

Sandboarding Thrills
Ready for more action? Head to a nearby high dune and glide down on a sandboard — no lift lines, just soft golden sand and pure fun. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned boarder, it’s a safe and exhilarating ride.

Camel Ride Finale
Finally, enjoy a peaceful camel ride across the open desert, giving you a moment to take in the scenery and unwind. Capture photos, breathe in the clean desert air, and reflect on a journey that has blended thrill with tradition.

After your camel trek, you'll be offered a quick refreshment before being driven back to Dubai, arriving with sand in your shoes and memories that last a lifetime.
