Dune Bashing & Sand Boarding Desert Safari Dubai

Discover the thrill of dune bashing and sand boarding on this action-packed desert safari that includes a camel ride, quad bike adventure, and a stunning sunrise view over the Arabian Desert's golden horizon. This tour covers the vast expanse of Al Lahbab, featuring the iconic Red Dunes where you'll experience the adrenaline rush of driving up steep dune faces and sliding down at breakneck speeds. The safari lasts approximately 8 hours, with options for upgrades to include quad bike rides or camel treks through the desert landscapes. Guests can enjoy guided tours in multiple languages including English, Arabic, and French, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the unique cultural heritage and natural beauty of Dubai's deserts.

The tour includes pickup from major hotels across Dubai and drop-off at your accommodation in the evening.

Experience Dune Bashing on Red Dunes

Your tour stops at the Red Dunes of Al Lahbab, where you'll embark on an exhilarating dune bashing adventure. These impressive sand formations are known for their vibrant red hue and towering peaks reaching up to 150 meters in height. The dunes cover a vast area of approximately 2,000 square kilometers, making them the largest natural sand accumulation in Dubai. Visitors can expect to spend about two hours sliding down the steep slopes at speeds of up to 60 km/hour, providing an adrenaline rush that is unmatched by any other desert experience. The dunes were formed over millions of years through the action of wind and water erosion, making them a unique geological wonder. Unlike other desert landscapes around the world, these dunes offer a distinct red color due to iron oxide deposits in the sand, giving them their characteristic hue.

Enjoy Sand Boarding on Red Dunes

The tour continues with an exciting session of sand boarding on the same Red Dunes where you'll experience the joy of surfing down the dune waves. The activity involves using a specialized board designed for gliding over soft sand, allowing you to reach speeds up to 50 km/hour as you descend the steep slopes. Sandboarding is a relatively new sport in Dubai, gaining popularity since its introduction in 2010. Visitors can spend about one hour mastering the art of balancing and maneuvering on the board while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape. Unlike traditional snowboarding or surfing, sand boarding offers a unique challenge due to the unpredictable nature of sand, making each descent different from the last.

Witness Sunrise over Desert Horizons

The tour culminates with an unforgettable sunrise viewing experience as you ride a camel through the desert. This activity takes place at dawn when the sky is painted in hues of orange and pink, creating a breathtaking backdrop for your adventure. The camels are well-trained and accustomed to guiding tourists across the dunes, providing a serene and majestic way to explore the vast desert landscape. Guests spend approximately one hour riding the camels, covering a distance of about 5 kilometers as they traverse the golden sands. Sunrise viewing is a highlight for many guests, offering a peaceful moment to reflect on the day's adventures while watching the sun rise over the horizon.
