Meet our expert safari guide at your selected location or hotel. After the pickup, we will drive you to the Abu Dhabi Desert in a modern, air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle to kickstart your safari packed with real thrills and excitement.

As the necessary preparations are carried out, including adjusting tire pressures and catching up with the convoy, we'll visit a camel farm where you can get up close to these animals well-adjusted to desert life.

Soon, you'll step into your 4x4 vehicle to embark on a thrilling session of dune bashing. Traverse the desert with excitement and conquer one dune after another, feeling your heart race as you ascend and descend the highest sand dunes. If your thirst for thrills remains unquenched, you can surf through the soft sands of the desert. After experiencing the exhilaration of the desert, you might even catch a glimpse of the sunset before heading to the campsite.

The ride from the hotel included two stops to pickup two other couples. What should have been a 45-50 minute ride took over 90 minutes. There was a lot of waiting around. The camel rides were very brief and the atv guide makes you stay in a single file line and your cannot veer off course or go fast. The sandboarding was on a very small hill which made it difficult to gain much speed so wasn’t quite worth the hype. After the activities were done, you gave a lot of men trying to sell you smoothies, souvenirs, and your name written in Arabic. From there, more waiting around. We did the midday tour and the whole day ran late so be mindful when booking as you’ll likely be late for anything you have planned that evening. The ride into base camp for the BBQ was rough through the deserts. We waited for over an hour in the heat for food with little to no communication on what was happening. The food was delicious at the time but my husband had good poisoning and spent the remainder of our trip in and out of the bathroom.
