Welcome a new day the Arabian way when you experience the serenity of a beautiful sunrise atop a dune in the middle of the Desert. Joining our Sunriser safari you are picked up in a 4WD vehicle for a scenic drive to the heart of the Qudra desert. Get ready to watch a glorious sunrise behind the undulating sand dunes whilst partaking a picnic breakfast seated in traditional Arabic style. Afterwards experience a thrilling off road adventure with a chance to get close to protected indigenous wildlife such as Arabian Gazelle and Arabian Oryx as we drive through the soft sand towards one of the animal watering holes. This invigorating experience will leave you wanting more as a smooth drive through the desert brings you back to civilization.

    I cannot recommend this tour enough. For wildlife enthusiasts or anyone who wants to see the "real" desert, this is perfect. You actually go out into a protected sanctuary and you can see wild animals like oryx roaming. Haroos was an amazing guide. I've never seen such an experienced driver on sand before. He was able to answer all of my questions throughout and kept everybody engaged. He was also kind and went slower or faster during certain portions as needed. By the way, they undersell the sandboarding component. It's not too sunny or hot out, and it's short enough that nobody gets bored. 30/10 morning.

  • An absolute highlight and a must-see in Dubai

    You can't ask for a better start to the day. Onyx antelopes, dune sand rims, a breathtaking sunrise, dune bashing and a delicious picnic in the desert sand. Our great driver and guide Chandu rao made this experience perfect, a very special person we will always remember fondly.

  • Amazing experience!
