Self Drive Duning and Sand Boarding
Very please to find this and be able to self-drive around on the dunes. All of the other tours are your typical "get driven, sit on a camel, have a barbeque" package holiday type tours. This is different. We had a Toyota Landcruiser each and drove around the dunes with a guide in the passenger seat - very steep drops! But the car is totally capable. Sandboarding is a nice touch to finish. This is a private experience, hence the price - but offers something quite different.
