Here’s a detailed look at how your morning desert experience will unfold:
Your safari begins with a private or shared 4x4 pickup between 7:00 and 8:00 AM (timing may vary slightly by season). You'll be picked up directly from your hotel or residence in Dubai by a professional safari guide in a fully equipped Land Cruiser or similar off-road vehicle.
As you drive out of the city and into the desert, watch the cityscape slowly dissolve into endless sand dunes.
The real adventure kicks in once you reach the Lahbab desert area. Dune bashing is an intense, roller-coaster-like ride through the dunes. Your driver will expertly maneuver the 4x4 across high, steep hills of sand at varying speeds.
Expect lots of excitement, laughter, and maybe a few screams. It’s not for the faint of heart but it’s completely safe.
Tip: Hold tight and trust your driver. These are trained desert safari experts with years of experience.
After dune bashing, you’ll stop at the top of a tall dune to soak in the views and snap some unforgettable photos. The early morning light casts a soft glow over the desert, making it perfect for landscape shots or selfies.
You’ll also get to see the desert’s natural texture up close. The smooth ridges, windswept patterns, and sometimes wildlife footprints.
Next up, is sandboarding. It’s just like snowboarding, but on sand. You'll get a board, climb a small dune, and slide down the soft slope. It’s suitable for all ages, and you can go as fast or slow as you want.
Sandboarding is easy to learn and tons of fun, especially if it’s your first time.
No desert safari is complete without a camel ride. You’ll get to sit atop one of these gentle animals and experience how ancient nomads traveled across the Arabian desert.
It’s a short ride, perfect for a few photos and a relaxed, authentic experience.
These can usually be added preferably at the time of booking or on the spot, depending on availability.
