Experience a thrilling desert adventure in Lahbab with two tour options. Choose the 4-hour option with dune bashing, sandboarding, and a camel ride, or the 7-hour option for a BBQ dinner and additional desert camp activities.
Your safari guide will pick you up in a 4x4 for a 50-minute drive into the desert, offering stunning views of Dubai. The first stop is a desert meeting point, where you can take a 25-minute break and, if desired, enjoy an optional quad bike ride.
Next, embark on an exhilarating 30-45 minute dune drive, navigating the dunes in a 4x4. Stop at a high dune for photos and admire 360-degree desert views at sunset. Try sandboarding before heading to the desert camp.
The 4-hour tour ends here with a return to your hotel. For the 7-hour option, visit the desert camp, enjoy Qahwa (Arabic coffee), dates, and traditional sweets. Experience camel rides, henna tattoos, shisha, and a BBQ dinner. End the night with a belly dance and Tanura show before returning to your hotel.

Booked the earlier experience this time around which was as great as the afternoon one without the bbq and dancing, instead we had Sandsurfing and Quad Bikes to add to the experience! All of which were thoroughly enjoyed, a great experience with a great driver who really gave us a feel of how the dunes are to be driven! Make sure you wear closed toe shoes as the sand does get very hot indeed and also wear sensible clothing as it got to 50 degrees in May out in the desert, this is additional to heat from the quads made it very hot indeed, water was supplied throughout and an air conditioned stop off also helped

Approx 4 hours in total, short camel ride included and quad/ snowboarding add on options. Rizz was an excellent driver, happy to answer questions and offer information. Very skilled when dune bashing. A great way to experience a condensed version of the desert experience.
