Full-Day Desert Safari
in Dubai

✨Main vibe: A 7-hour trip from Dubai to the Lahbab Red Dunes: dune bashing, sandboarding, a camel ride and sunset photos, then a BBQ buffet with fire, Tanoura and belly dance shows at Al Khayma camp — from $45 per person, hotel pickup included.

• ⏱️Dune bashing: A 30-45 minute 4x4 ride through the legendary Lahbab Big Red dunes with a licensed driver who adjusts the pace to the group.
• 🌊Sandboarding and camels: Surf the dunes on a board, ride a camel caravan and take sunset photos with the falcons.
• 🌊BBQ buffet and drinks: An all-you-can-eat feast of Mediterranean and Arabic grills with vegetarian dishes, plus unlimited water, soft drinks, tea and Arabic coffee.
• 🏝️Fire and dance shows: Fire show, Tanoura and belly dance at Al Khayma camp, with henna, a shisha station and air-conditioned tents to relax in.

• 🌴Why people book it: It is the slow-travel version of the classic safari: more time on the dunes, sunset without the crowds and a full evening programme at a premium camp with air-conditioned tents, unlimited drinks and a large BBQ buffet with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Everything is arranged from the hotel door — a licensed English-speaking driver, the 4x4, the camp and the shows.
• 🧭How the day feels: The 4x4 collects you at your hotel and heads out of the city toward the Lahbab desert, about 45-60 minutes from Dubai. Dune bashing comes first, with the driver adjusting the intensity to the group; then sandboarding on the Big Red dunes, an optional quad bike or buggy session, a camel ride and falcon photos as the light turns gold. After sunset the camp takes over: henna, the shisha station, dinner and the shows, before the drive back to your hotel.
