The experience
The quad bike is yours to control for 30 minutes inside the desert area. You navigate the terrain yourself after the guide covers safety, then move into dune bashing in a powerful 4x4 Land Cruiser where the driver tackles the steeper red dunes while you experience the full force of the ascents and descents. The ride to Lahbab takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes from your starting point in Dubai.
Sandboarding comes next. You carve your own path down the soft sand at whatever pace suits you. A camel ride follows, offering the slower, traditional way to move through the landscape. Throughout the morning, the guide stops for photography so you can capture the desert and the moments between activities. Refreshing water and soft drinks are provided as you move through each section.
The guide speaks English, Arabic, Hindi or Malayalam, so you can follow instructions and commentary in your language. An air-conditioned Land Cruiser handles the transport to and from the desert, and your selected Dubai location is where you'll be dropped at the end. The whole experience runs five hours from pickup to return.
Is this one for you?The guide speaks your language (English, Arabic, Hindi or Malayalam), so safety instruction and the desert commentary are clear from the start. Book this if you want to operate the quad bike yourself rather than watch from a vehicle, and if the combination of riding, sandboarding and camel time in one morning suits your schedule better than a full-day desert tour.
