Take the wheel of a 1000cc Polaris buggy across golden dunes, carve down steep faces on a sandboard, then wind down with a camel ride and Bedouin camp BBQ. This 4–7 hour outing mixes high-octane driving with cultural evening time in the desert.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive when the sun is low and the dunes have edges—golden ridgelines that look like waves frozen mid-crest. The engine of a 1000cc Polaris RZR growls, tires biting into soft sand, and the buggy pushes you up and over the slope; the desert answers with a rush of wind and the fine hiss of sand.
