Dune Bashing

This tour includes an unmissable Dubai experience – dune bashing in the desert! After collecting you from your hotel, our experienced driver will head out into the desert, taking you on a thrilling ride through mountains of desert sand, some up to 70ft (21m) high. Enjoy the adrenaline rush as you cruise over rolling red sand dunes, with vehicles expertly handled by our licensed English-speaking safari guide. You’ll be safe and comfortable in our air-conditioned Toyota Landcruisers, perfectly suited to the desert environment. While in the desert you’ll also have the opportunity to try sandboarding, an exciting activity that’s perfect for thrill-seekers. Desert buggies and quad biking may also be available at this location, but please note these activities are provided by third parties and prices must be negotiated with them directly. After dune bashing you’ll continue your adventure on to the desert camp.
