Feel the surge of a 4x4 cresting red sand ridges, then slow down to a camel’s rhythm at a Bedouin-style camp. This 7-hour Dubai safari combines dune bashing, sandboarding, cultural entertainment and a star-lit BBQ.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A late-afternoon sun slants low across the red dunes, warming the sand until it exhales heat that shimmers off the ridges. Your driver threads a 4x4 up a steep face and you feel the vehicle tip—then slide—over the crest; the dunes push back and then give. Later, a quiet camel walk carves a slow, steady line against the horizon while a Bedouin-style camp waits with coffee, dates and the clack of henna needles.

Book a sunset departure

Secure loose items before dune bashing
Hold cameras and phones or store them in a zip pouch—the ride is bumpy and gear can easily fall out.
