A late-afternoon sun spills low across an expanse of ochre dunes as the convoy peels away from Abu Dhabi’s skyline. By the time the vehicles climb the first ridge, the sand seems to move with purpose—dunes daring you to find speed on their flanks and quiet on their leeward slopes. This New Year’s desert safari blends high-adrenaline dune bashing and sandboarding with traditional camp-side culture: camel photo stops, henna, Tanoura and belly dance, and a communal BBQ under the stars.
moderate.
10 hours (3 PM–1 AM).
Suitable for most travelers in average fitness; expect short walks on sand and the physical jolt of off-road driving.
The scheduled run is about 10 hours—typically pick-up in the afternoon and return around 1 AM, covering dune activities, sunset viewing and the camp celebration.
Dune bashing is energetic and can be rough; it’s not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back or heart conditions—alternatives at camp are available.
The event offers a BBQ buffet and common accommodations for dietary restrictions when notified in advance—confirm any specific needs at booking.
Camel rides on these safaris are typically short photo rides rather than long treks; longer camel experiences require specialized tours.
The desert around Abu Dhabi has long been shaped by Bedouin camel culture and coastal trade routes; many modern camp traditions draw from that heritage.
Operators are encouraged to use established access tracks and minimize disturbance—follow staff guidance, avoid off-track driving, and take all litter home to protect fragile dune habitats.
