Swap the city skyline for ridged red dunes and an Arabian evening: dune-bashing, camel rides, henna and a BBQ under desert stars. This guided evening safari combines sunset views with live entertainment and hotel pickup.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A late-afternoon Land Cruiser peels away from Dubai’s glass and concrete, and within 45 minutes the city’s hum gives way to wind and sand. You arrive at the red dunes of Lehbab as the sun tips toward the horizon; the sand seems to hold onto heat like a memory while the sky pushes an orange band across the ridgelines. Dune crests dare you to climb; shadows deepen and then shrink as the light moves.

Protect your skin and eyes
The late-afternoon sun is strong and reflective on sand—bring SPF 30+, sunglasses and a brimmed hat; reapply sunscreen after dune bashing.
Wear closed shoes and gaiters
Loose sandals fill with sand; lightweight hiking shoes and socks keep grit out during dune walks and camel rides.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Dune bashing is intentionally dynamic—if you get car-sick consider medication or sit near the vehicle’s center.
Carry a small amount of cash and ID
Some campside vendors or photo services accept tips/cash; keep passport photocopy in case it's requested during pickup.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
High SPF protects against strong desert UV during late-afternoon exposure.
