Itinerary
Start with pickup from your hotel or residence in Dubai or selected Sharjah hotels in an air-conditioned 4x4 SUV. Meet your safari driver and enjoy the drive toward the Lahbab Red Dunes as the city skyline gradually gives way to the open desert.
Arrive at the famous Lahbab Red Dunes for the main desert adventure. Enjoy approximately 30–40 minutes of exciting dune bashing in a 4x4 SUV across the high red dunes, followed by sandboarding and time for desert photos. Your safari guide will stop at suitable dune viewpoints for photos and to enjoy the desert scenery.
After dune bashing, the 4×4 pulls into the buggy station beside the Red Dunes. The engine quiets, you step onto soft sand, and the desert suddenly slows down. Enjoy a short camel ride—gentle, easy, and perfect for photos—then meet a majestic falcon for an iconic UAE heritage shot. Want more adrenaline? Add an optional Quad Bike or Dune Buggy ride and head back into the open desert. Bottled water is included, and washrooms are available on site. Take your time here to breathe in the desert air, snap wide-angle photos of the red dunes, and enjoy a quick break before the next part of your tour. Your guide will help you with the best photo spots and keep everything organized, so you can relax and simply enjoy the moment. It’s a perfect mix of culture, comfort, and the option to turn the adventure up a level.
After your desert activities, relax in your air-conditioned 4x4 SUV for the return journey. Enjoy the approximately 50-minute drive back to Dubai or your selected included pickup area. Drop-off is provided at your original pickup location or another agreed location within the included pickup area.

5Beautiful sunrise safari with Tahir
Tahir was very friendly and professional! I had a really nice time and he took really good pictures of me!! We came to DFT for the camel ride and the falcon.
5Dubai desert safari.
Shaban, was an awesome driver. This experience was great value and is highly recommended. I never thought a Land Cruiser was capable of such manoeuvres. Shaban is very skilled in his driving.
5Do not miss this experience in Dubai!
Amazing experience! Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended, especially with our guide, Noori. I honestly wouldn’t recommend doing this activity with any other company — and make sure to ask specifically for Noori as your guide!!!

About Dubai
Dubai rises from desert and Gulf shore as a city of soaring towers, vast malls and beaches, with older trading quarters strung along its creek.
The Burj Khalifa, built to be the tallest building in the world, soars above Downtown, where the Dubai Fountain dances on a lake at its feet and the Dubai Mall spreads out beside it. Along the coast, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the palm-shaped island of Palm Jumeirah and the towers of Dubai Marina define a skyline raised within living memory.
Top-ranked sights in Dubai: Burj Al-Arab Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina.
