More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun drops low and the red dunes of Al Lahbab turn incandescent, a broad, wind-shaped landscape that seems to move as you approach. A 4x4 threads a narrow track and then climbs—then slides—over steep faces; the car leans, laughter and a thump of adrenaline follow, and the desert opens into long ridgelines and wind-polished sand.

Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring or refill a reusable water bottle—organizers provide drinks, but desert exertion and heat make extra water essential.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Apply high-SPF sunscreen, wear a wide-brimmed hat and UV sunglasses—evening UV can still be strong during the drive out.
Expect rough movement during dune bashing
If you get motion sick, sit in the middle of the 4x4, fix your gaze on the horizon, and notify the guide before the bashing run begins.
Bring layers for desert nights
Temperatures fall rapidly after sunset—carry a light jacket or shawl for the camp and evening return drive.
