    The driver was very nice and the dune bashing part was pretty good too, but on the other hand the rest of the experience wasn't quite as nice. The breakfast that was be included never happened, instead we got a half of a mini cup of some tea and a single date. The sand boarding part was way too short and we didn't have time to enjoy it all and felt very rushed to return to the car.

    A real raw experience to remember. If you've got an afternoon to spare I encourage you to definitely go for it! There may be delays and some unexpected situations, but that's a part of the experience! :)

  • Morning Drive to the Desert

    6am onwards

    Start with a relaxing drive in an air-conditioned vehicle from your place of accommodation into the desert. While desert safaris may be more popular in the evening, you'll see a different and lesser-seen side of the Middle Eastern desert during the mornings. Let the glimmering morning sands be your ideal wake-up call on this safari.

    Enjoy Desert Activities: Sandboarding and Dune Bashing

    7am onwards

    Once you enter the desert, you'll get plenty of opportunities to capture the beauty of the landscape at various spots. Slide down the silky soft sands during an exhilarating sandboarding session.

    Experience 20-30 mins of dune bashing - a classic desert safari experience you don't want to miss! Ever visited a camel farm? Go to one during this safari.

    Head to the Campsite for Camel Riding

    9am onwards

    Next, drive to your desert campsite to unwind. You can go for a desert safari camel ride here and experience the sun and sand more traditionally. Sample some shisha, and sit back and sip on some delicious Emirati coffee called gahwa locally.
