Evening in the red dunes: 4x4 dune bashing, a camel ride, sandboarding and a BBQ dinner with live shows at a desert camp. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.
Overview
A desert safari is the classic Dubai evening outside the city. A shared 4x4 picks you up from your hotel in the afternoon and drives you out to the red dunes, about an hour from Dubai.
The fun starts with dune bashing: about 30 minutes of climbing and sliding over the sand with an experienced driver. After a sunset photo stop on top of the dunes, you arrive at a desert camp for a camel ride, sandboarding, henna painting and Arabic coffee with dates.
When it gets dark, the BBQ buffet dinner is served, with vegetarian dishes too, while a Tanoura dancer, a fire show and a belly dancer perform. Soft drinks and water are included, and the 4x4 brings you back to your hotel at the end of the night.
