An action-packed evening in the Dubai desert: dune bashing in a Hummer H2, sandboarding, camel rides, live performances and a BBQ buffet. Ideal for those who want culture and thrills in one sunset-soaked outing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun drops low and the Hummer H2 rolls up over a crest of red sand, throwing a spray of grains that glitter like spent embers. You feel the vehicle pitch and roll as the driver picks a line; the dunes push you sideways and demand attention. As evening cools, the desert opens: a flat stage for sunset photos, then a low-lit camp where music, smoke, and laughter gather around a fire.

Protect your electronics
Bring a sealed bag and extra battery — fine sand will get into cameras and phones and batteries drain quickly after sunset.
Manage motion sensitivity
If you get car-sick, take medication before pickup and choose a seat in the middle of the Hummer for a smoother ride.
Dress for respect and comfort
Wear modest layers for the camp (shoulders and knees covered) and closed shoes for dune walking; evenings can be cooler after sunset.
Hydrate early and often
Drink water before pickup and carry a small bottle — organizers provide bottled water but desert heat can dehydrate you fast.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Keeps sand out and gives traction for short walks on dunes and around the camp.
High-SPF sunscreen and sun hat
Protects skin during late-afternoon exposure and the transfer to desert areas.
summer
Light jacket or wrap
Evening temperatures drop after sunset; a light layer is comfortable in the camp.
winter
Phone/camera in a sealed pouch with spare battery
