Experience the magic and mystery of an Arabian desert on a 6-hour scenic 4WD tour from Abu Dhabi. The safari will give you the golden opportunity to see the towering sand dunes of the desert as you go on a roller coaster ride on board your all-terrain vehicle. Stop at the highest dune to watch a desert sunset and refresh yourself with complimentary mineral water. Back on board, continue the drive to a Bedouin campsite right in the heart of the desert. Here, henna paintings, local costumes and soft drinks, water, tea or coffee are all available for your enjoyment. Climb on the back of a camel and experience the ships of the desert. Puff on a hubbly bubbly (shisha pipe), available in different flavors to suit your taste. Adding to the atmosphere of the night, an enchanting belly dancer will perform an impressive dance to the rhythms of Arabic music.

This tour with driver nunni was awesome, nunni was very friendly, informed us about everything, was the best driver on this tour. The tour lasted about 6 hours, were traveling by land cruiser, very clean and new vehicle. The Thin Ride was sensational, had a lot of fun, had driven 7 vehicles together, photo shoot at sunset, then on to the camp where we could do various activities, dinner was very fine. Then there were 3 more shows, which were very impressive and entertaining. After that we were driven back to hotels. This tour is definitely recommended, very well organized and thank you to our driver unni who was very competent, helpful.
