1. Dubai: Half-Day Desert Safari, Camel Ride & Quad Bike Option

After pickup from your hotel in a 4-wheel drive vehicle, head off with your local guide to the desert, just 45 minutes from Dubai. Upon reaching the Lahbab Desert, be welcomed into an air-conditioned tent with refreshments and time to relax. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can try some optional quad biking and take a ride over the beautiful red dunes of the Dubai desert. Next, you will hit the desert for a dune bashing experience in a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Feel your stomach leap as you ride up and down the tall red dunes. Marvel at how the vehicle tackles impossibly steep inclines and the uneven terrain of the sand.  After dune bashing, you will have a chance to try sandboarding or simply admire the scenery around you. Make sure you take plenty of photos of the scenic desert landscape.  Next, stop at the red dunes desert and enjoy a camel ride in the open desert.

Contacted via WhatsApp on the day before with arrangements, collection from the hotel was timely. We were taken in a very new and clean Nissan Patrol, driver and 6 guests. The quads/camels/dune bashing is all done about 40mins outside of Dubai in a similar area. The experience itself was brilliant, you are just let loose on a quad to blast around on some small dunes, you then get back into the car and set off into the dunes to where the camels are, short ride on them (lean back when the camels are getting up or lying down again, I we all almost ended up off the front of them!) After this the guide takes you out for some dune bashing, was brilliant fun. Only 1 person in the group threw up when we stopped to do the sand boarding! The only thing we didn't like was that it did feel like a bit of a tourist trap, you almost felt forced into buying clothes/photos/perfume etc from local stalls.

Excellent desert trip, great guide! The quad biking and dune bashing especially were awesome and we got a lot more time on those activities than we expected. Great fun!!! Only very slight negative was on arrival at camp we were immediately met by locals who put headscarves on us- we assumed this was part of the experience as we were not told anything, but then they followed us asking for 40aed for each one.

Excellent guide & driver, Shan, he has amazing skills to drive on dunes. He gave us opportunity for sandboarding.

Everything was excellent. The guide ( sorry for not remembering his name ) , the dune bashing and photo taking.

The tour was very good and our guide wahab is very helpfull
