Itinerary
If you fancy a morning desert expedition to enjoy the serenity of the Arabian sands, this tour is for you. Escaping the city head north to the desert, boasting spectacular landscapes of pristine, rolling sand dunes. Reaching the desert, you stop to deflate tires then enjoy an exhilarating rollercoaster ride over the undulating dunes and into the wilderness, making several stops for photos. Continue your fun drive to reach an Arabian Desert Campsite where you will experience a traditional welcome with ‘Gahwa’ Arabic coffee and local dates. Stretch your legs then enjoy a brief camel ride, sand boarding and ‘Shisha’, the Arabic water-pipe. Afterwards a pleasant drive brings you back to the city. Truly a great way to invigorate your senses.

Excellent trip with an experienced guide
The guide Mustafa was excellent, he expertly captured photographs at every significant location we visited, making sure to highlight the beauty and unique features of each landmark. As we explored, he shared fascinating stories and rich historical insights about the sites. The ride was comfortable and we enjoyed dune bashing, sand boarding. Overall it was an excellent trip.
Must do Desert Ride in Dubai!
The experience was amazing! The communication was easy and effective all time, I had a few questions as I was travelling with an infant, a young kid and a senior. They picked us up at our hotel 8am ontime! Very patience to take all the pictures, super nice guide! He was a great photographer too! They have water and soda included for the guests. He also helped to negotiate prices at the shop we stoped for a bio break. If you want to take the picture with the Falcon be sure you negotiate the price before, they say US$5 at first but then when all is done he said “no, it was per person!”. Luckly our guide noticed that and helped us to pay a reasonable price. The only “but” is that we could not do the sandboarding because was hot and the sand was not sliding. A little disappointed becase if they know that they should not sell it for the morning ride. Overall we really enjoyed it! Highly recommended!
