The experience
The evening starts with the quad bike, and this is the part you ride yourself. You take on the dunes for about half an hour, the sand rolling out ahead of you. Then you climb into a 4x4 Land Cruiser with an expert driver who knows the red dunes of Lahbab Desert, and the ride turns into a dune bash over one slope after another.
Next comes the slower side of the desert. The camel ride moves along the desert trails at sunset, and skilled artists paint henna designs in traditional Arabic style. Put on local Emirati attire for photos in the golden hour light, and keep your cup filled with water, soft drinks or Arabic coffee all the way through.
When the dark settles in, the BBQ dinner buffet spreads out with grilled meats, salads and Middle Eastern delicacies under the stars. Between bites, the Tanoura dance turns, belly dancers perform and fire performers light up the night, so the evening keeps moving from one act to the next.
