About this experience
What to expect
Your adventure begins with pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned 4WD vehicle. Travel through the desert landscape and visit a camel farm, where you can see these iconic desert animals up close and learn how they are adapted to life in the Arabian Desert.
Next, experience thrilling 4x4 dune bashing as your skilled driver navigates the towering sand dunes. Feel the excitement as you climb steep slopes, descend sandy drops, and drive across the rolling dunes. Then, try sandboarding and glide down the soft golden sands while enjoying spectacular desert views.
For even more adventure, choose the optional quad bike experience. Ride a powerful quad bike across designated desert areas and enjoy an exciting off-road adventure through the sandy terrain.
Continue to a traditional Bedouin desert camp, where you'll receive a warm Arabian welcome with Arabic coffee and dates. Head to a nearby dune to watch the breathtaking desert sunset and capture memorable photographs as the sky changes color.
At the camp, experience authentic Arabian culture and traditions with activities such as henna painting, shisha, camel rides, and traditional Arabian costumes. Enjoy live Tanoura and belly dancing performances as the evening comes alive.
Savor a delicious BBQ buffet dinner featuring a variety of grilled meats, salads, and traditional dishes. After dinner, the camp lights are switched off, creating the perfect setting for peaceful stargazing in the Arabian Desert.
Relax under the star-filled night sky before returning to Abu Dhabi in your comfortable 4WD vehicle, completing an evening filled with desert adventure, culture, entertainment, sunset views and BBQ dinner.
