More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive as the sun slides low, the SUV dropping you at a trackhead where the dunes lean like slow waves daring you to climb. The red sand of the Dubai outskirts warms beneath your boots; wind sculpts ridgelines that shift every hour. A private 4x4 waits to take you deeper, and the night camp—lamps flickering, the scent of Arabic coffee on the breeze—promises a blend of motion and calm.

Hydrate before you go
Carry and drink at least 1–1.5 liters of water per person during the six-hour outing—heat and salt from exertion dehydrate quickly.
Protect against sand and sun
Wear sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat or scarf, and high-SPF sunscreen; sand reflects light and UV exposure increases at dusk.
Prevent motion sickness
If you’re sensitive to motion, take antiemetics before dune bashing and sit in the middle of the vehicle where motion is least pronounced.
Shoes for sand
Choose closed-toe, breathable shoes that keep sand out but allow it to escape; flip-flops fill with sand and become uncomfortable.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects skin from intense desert UV during late-afternoon and sunset hours.
