Swap Dubai’s skyline for the red dunes of Lahbab on an evening safari that pairs 45 minutes of dune bashing and optional quad-biking with camel rides, falafel and a desert-side BBQ. Expect sunset photos, henna, falcon interactions and live entertainment under the stars.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun slides off the red dunes and the desert exhales a warm, dry breath — that’s when this evening safari begins. Pickup in a 4WD Land Cruiser from Dubai or Sharjah delivers you an hour out to the Lahbab red-sand sea, where wind-sculpted ridges push and pull like a living landscape. You’ll swap city air for a horizon that keeps moving.

Wildlife
History
The Lahbab area has long been part of Bedouin routes and camel grazing grounds; modern safaris layer tourism onto traditions like falconry and communal coffee ceremonies.
Conservation
Dune ecosystems are fragile — stick to designated paths, avoid littering, and choose operators who minimize off-track driving and respect local wildlife.
Reserve your spot on the Evening Desert Safari with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner and Camel Ride today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Hydrate before you go
Bring and sip water throughout the trip — the dry desert and activity level can dehydrate you quickly.
Secure loose items for dune bashing
Hold cameras and phones tight or use wrist straps; sand and sudden G-forces during dune bashing can jostle gear.
Footwear for sandboarding
Wear sports shoes with good grip and ankle support for sandboarding and walking on hot sand.
Mind health restrictions
If you have back, heart, or pregnancy concerns, skip the dune bashing and opt for the gentler camp activities.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects your feet for sandboarding, walking on dunes, and mounting camels.
High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm
Desert UV is intense even late in the day; reapply after sand contact.
summer
Light windproof jacket or layer
Temperatures drop quickly after sunset — a thin jacket keeps you comfortable at the camp.
winter
Reusable water bottle with filter
Keeps you hydrated and reduces single-use plastic; refill at the campsite if available.
