The experience
The drive out happens in an air-conditioned 4x4 SUV, and the city falls away fast. Then you take the handlebars of a quad bike yourself for about 30 minutes of off-road riding, with the dunes rising ahead. Next comes dune bashing over the red sand for 35 to 45 minutes, the kind of climb and drop that makes your stomach lift on every crest.
Sandboarding happens on the high red dunes, where you slide down the sand on a board. Then the sun drops and the sunset photo stop gives you time to capture the movement of the dunes as the light changes. It is the quiet part of the trip, after all the speed.
At the desert camp, a welcome of Arabic tea, coffee and dates comes first. You can sit with a shisha in apple flavour, have a picture taken with a falcon, or go for a camel ride. Live shows run through the camp: Khaleeji and Debke dances, belly dance, Tanoura and an impressive fire show. Dinner is an international buffet with live BBQ.
