More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun leans low over the red dunes as your 4x4 crests a lip of sand and the desert opens—an expanse of warm, iron-tinted ridges that seem to move as you approach. Wind-carved and wide, the Lehbab red dunes dare you to lean into speed, to slide a board down a face, to catch a photograph as light spills gold across the sand.

Hydrate before you go
Drink water before pickup and carry a small bottle; desert air and activity dehydrate quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand traps and hot surfaces make sneakers or light hiking shoes a better choice than sandals.
Bring a motion-sickness option
Dune bashing can be jerky—use medication or sit toward the middle of the vehicle if you’re prone to nausea.
Plan for sunset photos
The best light is 30–45 minutes before sunset; keep cameras accessible and bring a windshield cloth for sandy lenses.
Sunscreen & wide-brim hat
Protects from strong sun during daytime driving and while on dunes.

Light windbreaker or layer
