The sun slides low over red sand and the dunes begin to glow like a furnace cooling into ember — riders lean back as a 4x4 climbs and drops, sand spraying in graceful arcs. In the Lahbab red dunes, this premium evening safari moves from adrenaline‑charged dune bashing to the composed hush of Al Khayma Camp, where Arabic coffee, dates and a 5‑star open BBQ reset the pulse.

History
The Lahbab dunes were traditional Bedouin routes and grazing grounds; many camp traditions are revived from nomadic hospitality and falconry practices.
Conservation
The desert ecosystem is fragile — stick to marked tracks, avoid off‑route quad riding and carry out all litter; camps work to limit water use and restore vegetation where possible.
Reserve your spot on the Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Hydrate before and during the trip
Drink water before pickup and use the unlimited water at the camp — dune bashing and dry desert air dehydrate quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sandboarding and walking on dunes require stable footwear; sandals fill with sand and make mobility difficult.
Bring sun protection and a hat
Evening slots cool quickly but the drive and pre‑sunset periods can be intense; sunscreen and sunglasses help.
Follow safety briefings for quads
If you select quad biking, listen to instructions carefully — riders are responsible for their own equipment and risks.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Protects feet from hot sand and provides grip for sandboarding.
