All about the trip

Ride the crimson dunes like a surfer, dune bash or travel by camel in the endless Abu Dhabi desert. Whatever you choose, we can assure you this modern desert safari tour will leave you spellbound.

In the morning our experienced English-speaking guide will pick you up in style and comfort from your hotel. Our 4X4 cruiser comes equipped with air-conditioning, mineral water or soda and a driver. As you make your way into the desert the guide will share the history of the city as you leave the tall skyscrapers behind. The guide will also provide information about the itinerary of the tour this is the perfect opportunity to ask a question or amend the activities if necessary.

Once you arrive at the camp, you’ll notice it’s in the Bedouin fashion. This lovely camp is an important part of Arabic culture, the Bedouin people were traditionally nomadic and once filled the Fertile Crescent. Tall tents and lush carpeted floors with soft cushions add a sophisticated touch for your desert adventure. When ready, the driver will take you out on the crimson dunes for the “dune bashing” activity. You will strap in and hold on tight as the 4X4 rides up and down the slopes and pauses, for a moment, as you glide down the dune. The feeling is as if all time and air is suspended for a brief second as you revel in your adrenaline rush! After you’ve finished on the dunes the driver will make the way back to the camp. Here you will enjoy light refreshments and prepare for the next activity.

Next, you can try to master the desert by riding a camel across the dunes. With help from your guide, they will help you mount the camel safely and you can ride caravan style with others on the tour. However, if you prefer a modern approach, try your hand at sandboarding! Ride the dunes as you would the waves in the sea; the surf is always good in Abu Dhabi!

After a day of fun and culture, your guide will prepare the vehicle and take you back to your hotel. This is a once in a lifetime experience that you don’t want to miss. Let us show you the warmth of Emirati hospitality.
