The experience

The quad bike portion runs about 30 minutes and sits early in the evening, so you get the riding done while the light is still good. After that comes dune bashing in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle, where the driver handles the terrain and you experience the speed and angle of the dunes from a passenger seat. Sandboarding comes next. You get a board and the slope, and the rest is up to you. A short camel ride follows before the group heads to the desert camp.

At camp, the evening shifts to food and performance. A buffet dinner includes both vegetarian and meat options, with unlimited soft drinks and mineral water. The live shows run through the night: three belly dance performances, two tanoura (spinning skirt) shows, two fire shows, and a silk performance. There's also henna tattooing available for women, sunset photography at the campsite, and Arabic costumes you can wear for photos if they're in stock that evening. The whole experience runs 4 to 6 hours from pickup to drop-off.

A live English-speaking guide is with the group throughout. Toilet facilities are available at camp. The vehicle picks you up from your hotel and brings you back when the evening ends.
