WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Dubai
You will be picked-up by our friendly tour guide from your hotel.
2.
We will proceed with our journey to Lahbab desert – the most remote desert place in Dubai – which will take 45-50 minutes’ drive to reach there. Feel free to ask questions to your expert guide about the history and culture of Dubai, its cuisine, important monuments, and so much more.
3.
On arrival at Lahbab desert, take a short break to enjoy camel rides or pose pictures with them while your guide deflates tires for dune-bashing.
4.
Chance to choose for optional quad bike rides (for 25-minutes) before heading out to the desert for a dune drive.
5.
Once the vehicle is ready, experience 30-45 minutes of adrenaline rush as you slip and slide from one dune to another. The dune-bashing culminates at one of the highest dune points in the desert which doubles up as a picture stop.
6.
Seize this opportunity to take in the panoramic vistas of the desert landscape and marvel the sleek red color of the dunes.
7.
Subsequently, after the picture stop, head towards our Bedouin-style camp, hidden in the heart of the desert. Be greeted with Qahwa (Arabic coffee), dates and Lugamat (traditional sweet) as you enjoy the numerous activities put together in the camp such as camel rides, Shisha pipe, Henna tattoo artists, take pictures in traditional Arabic costumes and shop through the souvenir stand to discover unique as well as exotic ornaments for your loved ones back home. Have a chance to take pictures with a Falcon as well. As the night settles in, enjoy a delicious and luxurious BBQ spread of kebabs, hummus and salads accompanied by soft drinks and alcoholic drinks (self-paid) from the bar. While enjoying your meal, feast your eyes on a colourful belly dancing show followed by the Tanura performance.
8.
4 hours tour ends after our picture stop, you will be taken back to the city and dropped off at your hotel. 7 hours tour will be taken to the Bedouin desert camp.

We were picked up by Mujahid and he made us feel so welcome. He went above and beyond at all the stations we visited. Firstly the camels then making sure we all had a go on the quad bikes. Only making sure we had a fresh bottle of cold water. Taking photos of us all the time with our phones. He was also brilliant on the Dune bashing drive where the family had an amazing time also. Mujahid was a great host and looked after us all so well.

What an amazing trip!!! I went with my sister and we had the best time, and it was all because of our amazing tour guide, Muhram Ali. He was soo kind, tentative, and always made sure we were comfortable. My sister got a little sick during the dune bashing, and he made sure she was okay during the second half of the trip. I cannot recommend him enough. He explained everything so well, and he was so professional. He was the best tour guide we have ever seen, and your tour will not be complete unless you have Muhram Ali as your tour guide!

The trip was a nice experience, and we got what we expected. Our driver, Mujahid, did a very good job, and we felt always perfectly save. The camel ride was very short, and it was a standard tourist procedure. However, it's basically the same everywhere, so the ride was okay. The dune bashing was quite funny, even I would have expected some more speed :-). Finally, and that was the best, we went for some sandboarding. Mujahid gave us as much time for that fun as we wanted, and due to the time we even could enjoy the sunset in the desert. He also took a lot of pictures of us with the sunset, so this day came to a very nice ending.
During the complete trip we always got cooled water bottles, and the car was quite comfortable, too.
The only thing we could claim, and that's the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is the missing guide role. We did not really expect this, but it would have been nice to hear a little bit about the region where we drove to, etc.. However, this is more a proposal to make the tour more enjoyable as it already is :-).
Thank you for the really nice trip, Mujahid!

Good and fun experience. Mujahid was a very good and safe driver. We had a great time. It's quite intensive so I wouldn't recommend planning to many activities after.
