The experience
The afternoon starts in Lehbab, in the Red Arabian Desert, with a quad bike ride across the sand and a go at sandboarding down the dune, the ultimate adrenaline rush. Pictures and video of the descent are part of the fun. Then the trip moves on to Al Awir, where the dune bashing is in the hands of professional expert drivers.
At the camp in Al Awir, the evening turns to costume and color. You slip into an Arabian outfit for photos and videos, have henna painted on your hands or feet in a removable tattoo, and pose with a falcon. A short camel ride is there for the pictures too, and if Bedouins crossing with their camel trains pass by, you can photograph them.
Dinner is a barbecue buffet of authentic Arabic cuisine, with vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes, eaten in the middle of the desert. Water, soft drinks, tea and coffee are unlimited, and the shows run through the meal: belly dance, the whirling tanoura dancers, Yalla dance and fire shows.
