The experience
The day starts with pickup at your Dubai hotel in an air-conditioned land cruiser. After a 50-minute drive into the desert, the activities begin: you'll spend 30 to 40 minutes dune bashing inside the vehicle, feeling the vehicle climb and drop across the red dunes. The driver handles the wheel while you experience the speed and angle of each descent.
Once dune bashing ends, you get out and sandboard down the dunes yourself. This is the part where you're moving under your own momentum across the sand. After that comes a photo session with falcons, birds that are central to Bedouin culture, then a camel ride across the desert landscape. Mineral water and soft drinks are available throughout. The whole sequence (bashing, boarding, falcon photos, camel ride) takes place in the cooler morning hours, and you're back at your hotel by early afternoon.
A professional, English-speaking guide leads the group through each activity. The land cruiser is the only transport. You don't arrange your own way to the desert or between stops. Children from age 6 can join, though the dune bashing and sandboarding require at least moderate physical fitness.
Is this one for you?Choose this if you want to experience dune bashing, sandboarding, and camel riding as part of a guided group rather than exploring on your own. You'll move through activities together on a set schedule.
