An hour on a quad bike, then six shows, camel rides and a full desert dinner under the stars

The experience

You start with the quad bike itself. After hotel pickup and the drive to the meeting point on Dubai Hatta Road, you get an hour to ride your own ATV through the naturally landscaped dunes of Al Lahbab. The operator provides all driving gear and expects you to take it slowly: no sharp turns, just the feel of steering through sand that shifts under the wheels. No prior experience is needed. The point is the ride, not the speed.

Once you hand back the quad, the safari guide takes over. The next phase is dune bashing in a 4x4 Land Cruiser: 25 to 30 minutes of the vehicle climbing and dropping through the desert while you sit inside. You stop for photographs near sunset, then arrive at the campsite where the evening unfolds: a short camel ride, henna painting on your hands, Arabic coffee and dates, and a setup of tables and chairs facing the performances. Six live entertainment shows run through the night: dance, music, whatever the camp has scheduled that evening.

Dinner is unlimited and arrives in courses: fresh BBQ (meat and vegetarian), fresh bread, and around 25 other dishes from an international buffet. Soft drinks and mineral water flow throughout. The whole experience runs about seven and a half hours from pickup to drop-off, and the group stays small: a maximum of six people per vehicle with your driver.
