Full description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Dubai in the afternoon for a drive across the desert on the outskirts of the city. Before you leave the city center, you will stop for several photo opportunities of the futuristic skyline and contrasting expanse of sand on its doorstep.

Traveling by 4WD vehicle, drive into the red sands of the desert, stopping to watch a beautiful sunset over the distant Hajar mountains. Before you reach the desert camp, there will be the chance to ride on the back of a camel and experience the desert just like the ancient nomads.

Try your hand at sand boarding down some of the towering dunes, and sit back as professional drivers bash the mighty dunes in the off-road vehicles.

Then, it’s time for a delicious barbecue dinner at the desert camp. This will be served after a welcome Arabic coffee and fresh dates. Try an authentic hubble bubble (shisha) pipe, enjoy complimentary soft drinks at the bar (alcohol is available to purchase), and get a henna design painted on your hands or feet.

Dress up in traditional Arabic costumes for a souvenir picture, and relax around the camp fire as belly dancers demonstrate their supple moves.
