The experience
The day starts with a 1-hour drive from Dubai to the Lahbab desert, where the real action begins. You get a choice: join the dune bashing and sand boarding that come with the tour, or add an optional ATV ride for extra cost and take the controls yourself across the red dunes. Either way, the 4WD vehicle handles the terrain while you experience the desert's scale and speed.
Once you reach the Bedouin-inspired camp, the pace shifts. You're welcomed with Arabic coffee, dates, and sweets, then move into the activities that fill the afternoon: a camel caravan ride through the desert, a close encounter with a falcon, and time to try henna tattooing or smoke shisha in the designated area. The camp is set up so you can move between these at your own pace, taking photos and absorbing the setting.
As the sun sets, the camp hosts live entertainment (a Tanoura dance performance and a traditional Ladies Khaliji dance), before dinner arrives. The BBQ buffet offers both vegetarian and meat options, served with unlimited soft drinks and tea or coffee. After the meal, the camp lights dim so you can sit with the typical desert night ambiance before the drive back to your Dubai hotel.
Is this one for you?Book this tour if you're traveling with a mixed group and want a full evening that combines action in the desert with downtime at a camp. The optional ATV ride lets thrill-seekers take the wheel while others enjoy the dune bash, and the camp activities give everyone a chance to pace themselves between the driving and the dinner.
