Itinerary
Hotel or Residence Pickup

Your afternoon begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or residence in a private 4x4 vehicle. Settle in and relax as your experienced driver takes you out of the city and toward the golden dunes of the Abu Dhabi desert.

Refreshment Break

Stretch your legs at a desert rest stop before the adventure begins. Grab a cold drink, use the facilities, and get ready for the most exciting part of your journey.

Optional Quad Bike & Dune Buggy Experience

For those craving extra adrenaline, add on a quad bike or dune buggy ride across the open sands. Ride solo or with a partner as you carve your own path through the dunes, with safety gear and a full briefing provided before you set off.

Thrilling Dune Bashing Adventure

Hold on tight for a heart-racing dune bashing session in a powerful 4x4. Your skilled driver takes you climbing, dipping and gliding across the towering sand dunes in what is easily the most thrilling part of the day.

Sunset Viewing & Desert Photography

As the sun begins to set, we stop at a scenic dune to watch the desert transform. Golden light spills across the sand, the sky shifts through shades of orange and pink, and you'll have plenty of time for those unforgettable sunset photographs.

Arrival at the Desert Camp

Arrive at our traditional desert camp, where you'll be welcomed with freshly brewed Arabic coffee, dates and light starters. Relax on comfortable seating under the open sky and soak in the warm Arabian hospitality the desert is known for.

Camel Ride, Henna Art & Cultural Activities

Take a short camel ride around the camp for a classic desert experience and a great photo. Try traditional henna art on your hands, browse the camp at your own pace, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere as evening settles in.

Live Entertainment & BBQ Buffet Dinner

The evening comes alive with three spectacular live performances — a dazzling fire show, a graceful belly dance, and the mesmerising spinning of the Tanoura. Alongside the entertainment, enjoy a generous BBQ buffet dinner with a wide selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, plus unlimited soft drinks, tea and coffee.

Return Transfer

After a memorable evening in the desert, hop back into your 4x4 for a comfortable ride to your original pickup location, arriving with a camera full of photos and a great story to tell.
