What makes Red Dunes Desert Safari with Buffet Dinner and Sand Boarding a unique experience ?
The adventure typically begins with a pick-up from your location in the afternoon, with drive times ranging between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your location. Along the way, you’ll pass through the outskirts of Dubai, watching the urban scenery fade into expansive, golden dunes. Upon arriving at the desert’s meeting point, you’ll have the opportunity to take a short break, use the washroom, and explore the surroundings. Here, you can also rent a quad bike or buggy for a self-driving experience, allowing you to navigate the sand dunes on your own for an extra thrill (pre-booking is highly recommended for this activity).
Dubai Desert Safari is an exciting, adventure-filled journey that offers a unique way to experience the vast beauty of the Arabian desert. From thrilling activities like quad biking to more traditional experiences, this tour offers an immersive blend of adventure, culture, and stunning landscapes.
The main event of the tour is dune bashing, an exhilarating 4×4 ride across the towering dunes, where your expert driver skillfully maneuvers the vehicle through steep, sandy slopes and thrilling descents. These adrenaline-pumping activities offer a heart-racing introduction to the desert’s rugged beauty.
You’ll be taken to a traditional Bedouin camp where you can unwind and enjoy a variety of activities like camel rides, henna painting, and traditional Arabic clothing for photos. You’ll be treated to live cultural performances such as belly dancing, Tanoura shows, and a fire performance, all while savoring a delicious BBQ buffet dinner featuring local and international cuisine.
A Buggy Ride or ATV Ride is one of the most exhilarating ways to experience the desert’s rugged terrain. Designed for off-road exploration, these vehicles make it easy to conquer the sand dunes and navigate the vast, rolling landscapes of the Dubai desert. Whether you choose a powerful dune buggy or an ATV, both options offer an unforgettable adventure. The real fun begins as you speed across the sand dunes, feeling the adrenaline rush as you tackle the twists, turns, and inclines of the desert. The guided route allows you to discover remote parts of the desert, offering breathtaking views of the endless horizon and golden dunes.
Most rides offer around 20-30 minutes of quad biking or buggy driving, allowing participants to navigate the dunes at their own pace. Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned adventurer, this off-road experience is perfect for those looking to add a thrilling twist to their Dubai desert adventure.
Sandboarding is an exciting adventure where participants ride specially designed boards down the smooth slopes of the Arabian Desert’s golden dunes. Similar to snowboarding but on sand, this activity offers a thrilling way to experience the vast beauty of the desert landscape.
After an exhilarating 4×4 drive to the perfect dune, you’ll climb to the top, strap into your sandboard, and feel the rush as you glide down the sandy slopes. The smooth descent, combined with the surrounding scenery, creates a unique and memorable experience that’s hard to replicate in other landscapes.
Throughout the activity, experienced guides are on hand to ensure everyone’s safety and offer tips on mastering the ride. Sandboarding also provides some incredible opportunities for scenic views, especially at sunset, when the desert transforms into a landscape of rich, glowing colors. It’s not only an adrenaline-pumping adventure but also a way to enjoy the serene beauty of the Dubai desert.
After the thrilling dune bashing, your safari guide will bring you to a traditional desert camp where a range of activities awaits. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with Arabic coffee (Gahwa) and dates, immersing you in the local culture. The camp, designed to reflect a traditional Bedouin settlement, offers comfortable seating and various activity stations.
You can enjoy a brief camel ride, a classic desert experience, or have intricate henna designs applied by skilled artists. If you prefer to unwind, there’s usually a shisha (hookah) area where you can relax and try different flavors. For a memorable keepsake, you can also dress in traditional Emirati clothing and capture the moment in photos.
Additionally, for a small fee, you can interact with falcons and take photos with these majestic birds, adding to the authenticity of your desert adventure.
The evening in the desert comes alive with captivating traditional entertainment, including belly dancing, Tanoura dance, and an adrenaline-pumping fire show. Whether it’s fire-breathing or fire-dancing, these fiery displays add a thrilling element to the night, making for an unforgettable cultural experience in the heart of the desert.
You’ll also be treated to a lavish feast of authentic Arabic cuisine. The buffet includes an array of perfectly grilled meats, aromatic rice dishes, and a selection of fresh salads. For those with a sweet tooth, a variety of delicious Middle Eastern desserts are also available. Throughout the evening, refreshments are served, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the rich flavors and warm hospitality that make this experience so special.
This combination of cultural performances and a culinary journey through Arabic flavors provides the perfect blend of entertainment, tradition, and indulgence, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the desert.
The evening is a vibrant showcase of traditional entertainment, offering guests a captivating cultural experience in the heart of the desert. Highlights include graceful belly dancing, the mesmerizing whirling of the Tanoura dance, and a thrilling fire show, featuring daring fire-breathing or fire-dancing performances. Each act reflects the rich heritage of the region, leaving the audience in awe.
