Full-Day 4x4 Desert Safari from Dubai and Sharjah

After pickup from your Dubai or Sharjah hotel or a central location in either city, venture into the desert by comfortable, air-conditioned 4x4. As you travel, watch as the sandy plains change into the striking Lahbab Desert. About 31 miles (50 kilometers) from Dubai, this region is famous for its high, red-colored dunes — a spectacular sight. On arrival, take a 45-minute dune bash with a highly trained driver at the wheel. Hold tight as you climb and slide down the slopes, and take in the ocean of dunes around you as you travel up, down, and sideways. Next, swap your 4x4 for a camel ride. Climb aboard and admire the views from your elevated perch as your animal plods across the sands. Afterward, try your hand at sand boarding – surfing a board down the sheer, silky slopes — and if you wish, get a henna tattoo painted on your hands or feet. Finally, sit down among the dunes for a mouth-watering barbecue buffet dinner. Savor a variety of international dishes with unlimited sodas, tea, and coffee, and watch sparkling belly dancing, fire, and tanoura spinning shows as the sun sets. Your trip then finishes at the original starting point.
