Lahbab Desert: Red Dunes is in the Lahbab Desert, about 60 minutes from the city, with Dubai is tallest red dunes for fun and photos.
Dune bashing is the off-roading experience of driving over dunes. It resembles a roller coaster ride versus driving on dirt.
Before you get started, the driver will check your safety by adjusting the tires. This is a necessary step to prepare for your smooth and exciting dune drive.

Safari Guide & Vehicles
All of our safari guides are licensed professionals and have over 6 years of experience, ensuring your safari will be a safe and enjoyable experience.
All safari vehicles meet DTCM specifications, and were designed specifically for safety and comfort so you have the most amount of smoothness and pleasure throughout your tour from start to finish.

Dress Code & Weather
There is not a dress code, but we do suggest light, comfortable clothing (such as cotton) as the desert gets so hot during the day.
Closed shoes or sandals with straps are best to keep in place while walking or sandboarding on the dunes.
Ladies should wear loose tops, trousers, or long skirts to their preference. Replicate for the men: shorts or light pants and t-shirts.
You will want to wear sunglasses, a cap or hat, and wear sunscreen to keep yourself as protected as you can in the heat of the sun; the sun can be strong in the desert.
Deserts are warm by day but can be cold at night, so bring a light jacket or shawl just in case.

Without Dune Bashing
If you do not like dune bashing, you can skip it, no problem.
You can relax in our cool, comfortable waiting area while others do dune bashing, which is included in the package.
If you booked a private vehicle, we can take you right to the scenic photo spots and campsite location with no dune bashing.
If you decide to skip the dune bashing, it will have no impact on price - all guests pay the same, regardless of level of involvement.

Pregnant Women & Children
Your safety and comfort are key to a Desert Safari Dubai, and we want all our guests to experience the memorable thrills of Dubai's desert.
Just a reminder that the dune bashing activity can be a little too thrilling for expectant mothers and young children.
With this in mind, we strongly encourage expectant mothers and families with young children to consider comfort and remain in their air-conditioned allocated waiting area, to relax and prioritize the well-being of the mother and baby.
Our goal is for everyone to have a great time in the Dubai desert, safe and content with our services.

Quad Bikes & Dune Buggies
To enjoy your desert trip, it is best to pre-book your quad bike and dune buggy.
This will make a successful and fast beginning to your adventure.
If you do not book early, you may spend too long and lose a lot of time to other fun things in the desert.
Be sure to book your quad biking and dune buggies in advance, so you are not hung up at the last moment, and enjoy a day of action-packed fun in the desert of Dubai.
