Full description

Discover Dubai on a day-long journey across the Dubai Desert. Enjoy thrilling activities like dune-bashing and sandboarding, and take the chance to relax at a camp with traditional snacks and activities like henna and shisha. Finally, enjoy the sunset through a powerful telescope.

After being picked up by your Safari Captain, make the first stop of your journey to stretch your legs and relax, or take the optional quad bike ride. The adventure begins with a 30-40-minute dune bashing ride deep in the Lahbab Red Dunes desert. Try sandboarding (surfing over the dunes) for an extra thrill before going to Al Khayma Camp. The Al Khayma premium camp will be all set to welcome you with Arabic coffee, sweets, and dates once you finish the desert safari. Say hello to the camp’s resident camels and, if you like, hop on the camel for a ride across the dunes. Enjoy one of the activities conducted by the camp, such as henna painting, Arabic coffee and tea, camel feeding, and even a shisha station. Tuck into a dinner buffet with activities, Emirati, Moroccan, and Arabian dishes, followed by a live BBQ during sunset.

Feast your eyes on the Bedouin entertainment live show and finish your dinner on a sweet note by relishing various local desserts. The camp’s ambiance will change as the sun goes down, allowing you to take in the peaceful desert night. Spot the stars in the desert sky through a high-power telescope on a fascinating stargazing session before calling it a day. Get dropped off at your hotel after a beautiful day of adventure and entertainment.

    This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Dubai. The offer is packed with a variety of activities, each of which are so fun. Roshin was our guide and he was incredible. Super hospitable and caring. I would highly recommend this experience and going with him.

    Our guide Shan Y. was amazing and great guide for red dunes sand dashing and Al Khayama camp activity. He kept us informed about the activities at each step! He has good command over English and gets everyone in the conversation. He gave us his arrival information to pick us up at our hotel and arrived promptly. I would personally recommend him to my family and friends . We booked this activity through GetYourGuide.com.

    We had a wonderful day of adventure, good food and feelings of 1000 and one night. Our driver Akbar spoke very good English and took great care of us. Dune bashing was very exciting, but you always felt safe with Akbar. The shows presented in the camp were very nice and varied. A really very successful excursion with Akbar and Get your Guide. We recommend!
