The experience

The trip starts with a ride in a 4x4 pickup, and then the dunes open up in long golden curves. Skilled drivers take you dune bashing, that lurch and swoop over the crests, before you climb onto your own quad bike for half an hour of riding across the open sand.

Along the way comes a traditional camel ride and a go at sandboarding down smooth slopes. As the sun goes down, you arrive at a camp that has been set up with care, with lounge seating and a hookah area, and tea, coffee, soft drinks and water are there whenever you reach for them.

Dinner is a BBQ buffet with veg and non-veg dishes, fresh salads and desserts. The entertainment carries on through the evening with belly dance, tanoura, a fire show and Arabic folk dance. The whole night is meant to feel more private and relaxed, with personal service at every step.
