Full description

Escape the hustle of Dubai and experience the calm of the surrounding desert to satisfy your sense of adventure. Choose from a shared or private option, and enjoy legendary Lahbab hospitality.

Start your adventure with a convenient pickup at your hotel and drive out to the wilderness by 4WD. Journey to the remote desert area of Lehbab, approximately 50 kilometers from Dubai city center.

Marvel at the silky red sand and towering dunes. Hop on a camel to get a short ride or perhaps choose the optional quad bike experience. Head into the desert onboard your 4WD Land Cruiser as the vehicle slips and slides like a roller-coaster across the dunes. Try your hand at sandboarding, or just relax and take photos of the spectacular views of the sunset, before being dropped off back at your hotel.

Our guide, Imran, has been very kind and attentive. He has picked us up at the agreed time and we have gone directly to the safari. At this point everything has been great. The experience has been good, but the general note has been a bit disappointing. We spend proportionately more time in the car than doing the activity itself. Short camel ride (less than 5 minutes), then less than 10 minutes sandboarding and I think 10/15 minutes with the dune safari. Oh, it's all over. Then all the attempts to sell you something are quite exhausting so the general note is not bad and it is fair, but I would not repeat the experience. I don't know if all experiences are like that, I hope not, but it's too thought to sell and less to have fun.

What an amazing experience, I would definitely recommend doing this! The quad bikes were the most fun in my opinion which if you decide to do, you have to pay a bit extra but it’s deffo worth it! However, we decided to take a car ride in the dunes which I didn’t particularly like due to feeling a bit dizzy but that’s my own preference x

Just awesome. At first we thought OK, is it worth it?! Camel riding doesn't have to be, but the animals are treated very well and immediately put in the shade and taken care of. Our guide was great, caring and had a lot to tell. It was an experience and is recommended!!!!
