About this experience

<p>This private desert safari takes you from your Abu Dhabi hotel straight into the dunes for an evening built around adrenaline and atmosphere. A private, air-conditioned 4x4 handles the pickup and drop-off, so the experience starts the moment you're collected rather than after a long transfer. Once in the desert, the main event is dune bashing: a 4x4 ride over sand slopes that alternates sharp drops with long, sweeping runs.</p><p>Beyond the driving, there's time to try sandboarding on the same dunes before the group settles in at a desert camp for the evening. A BBQ buffet dinner is served as the sun goes down, followed by live entertainment including belly dancing, a Tanoura performance, and a fire show. It's a mix of activity and downtime, with the desert setting doing a lot of the work once the music and lights come on after dark.</p><p>The car seats up to seven people, making this a good option for private groups or families who want their own vehicle rather than joining a shared convoy. The full experience runs around six hours from pickup to drop-off.</p>

What to expect

Your evening begins with a private 4x4 pickup from your Abu Dhabi hotel, saving you the hassle of arranging your own transport to the desert. Once you reach the dunes, the driver takes you through a dune bashing session, navigating steep sandy slopes and sharp descents. Afterwards, there's a chance to try sandboarding on the same terrain before heading to the desert camp.

Things to note

  • Wear closed shoes and comfortable clothing for dune bashing and sandboarding
  • Bring a light jacket, as desert temperatures drop after sunset
  • Dune bashing involves sharp turns and drops, so those with back problems may want to sit this activity out
  • Infants under 3 years old are not permitted during the dune bashing portion
  • A non-dune-bashing transfer option to the camp is available if preferred
  • Confirm pickup timing and location with the operator ahead of your booked date
