We will first pick you from your hotel or location in a comfortable 4WD vehicle and will journey to the Lahbab desert. A short break... Once at the desert, we will take a 20 minutes break before your safari starts. You can relax there, availing bathroom / toilet facilities or opting a Quad bike ride, while we prepare our vehicle for the off-road dune drive.
Desert adventure time... Soon we go for a dune bashing ride that lasts 30-45 minutes. You can feel that peculiar excitement as your Land Cruiser climbs up and slides down the sand dunes. Then try the adventure sport - desert dubai sandboarding. Stand on the wooden board provided, balance yourself and glide over the desert sands.
Camp Type: Sharing at our exclusive Al Khayma camp, self-service open buffet.Stay overnight in typical Bedouin style with a sunrise camel trek.

We had an amazing experience at Al Khayma Camp. The overnight desert safari was well organized, the BBQ was delicious with a wide variety of options, and the stargazing in the desert made the evening unforgettable. The staff were kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel comfortable the entire time. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to upgrade the showers for more comfort after a long day of desert activities. That would make the stay absolutely perfect. Overall, a memorable experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Dubai!

Great experience. Everything is taken care of by the organizer and the camp. Transportation, food, drinks and even pajamas if you sleep in camp. There are showers and the tent is air conditioned.

The entire experience was great. The only thing I would add is a shower house separate from the toilets because the water from the shower comes towards the toilets and with the sand it’s pretty messy. But the entire experience was absolutely amazing. Staff were great and the atmosphere was the best.

This was an amazing experience! We got picked up from our hotel and went directly into riding ATVs in the desert and dune bashing and snowboarding on the sand dunes! However the best part was the amazing bbq and dinner that had so many options and all were great! We spent the night in one of the yurts which were huge and well controlled by air conditioning despite the 100° temps.
