More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Late afternoon light slants across the Lahbab dunes and the Can‑Am Maverick X3 settles into a low, eager growl. You feel the chassis respond as the guide nudges you onto a wind-sculpted ridge; the dune slopes push back and then release, urging the buggy forward. For an hour you’ll climb steep faces, accelerate down loose sand and stop for wide, copper-colored views that change with every shift of light.

Bring sun protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide‑brimmed hat for the drive to and from the dunes will protect you from intense desert sun.
Closed‑toe shoes only
Wear sturdy sneakers or boots — open sandals won’t protect your feet from hot sand and vehicle movement.
Stay with the convoy
Keep pace with your guide; running ahead or cutting lines damages fragile dune surfaces and risks getting stuck.
Hydrate before and after
Bottled water is provided, but drink extra fluids before the pickup to avoid heat fatigue.
Sunglasses
Protects eyes from glare and blowing sand during dune runs.
