About this experience

The red dunes of Al Lahbab, roughly an hour outside the city, turn a soft copper colour as the sun comes up, and this morning desert safari puts you right in the middle of it. Depending on which ticket you choose, you'll ride a quad bike, take the wheel of a 1000cc dune buggy, or hold on tight through a 4x4 dune-bashing session across the shifting sand. It's one of the more active ways to experience Dubai's desert landscape, and doing it in the early morning means cooler temperatures and softer light for photos.

Roundtrip transport from your hotel is included, so the day starts with a scenic drive out of the city as the skyline gives way to open desert. Once you arrive, a short safety briefing gets you ready before you head out onto the dunes. Some ticket options add a camel ride or a chance to try sandboarding on the red sand, and breakfast plus unlimited water and soft drinks are included to refuel afterwards.

Whether you're after the adrenaline of dune bashing in a 4x4 or the novelty of riding a camel while the sun rises over Dubai, there's a ticket option built around it. A private morning safari is also available if you'd rather do it away from a group.

What to expect

Your morning begins with pickup from your hotel, followed by a scenic drive out of Dubai toward the Al Lahbab desert. On arrival, you'll get a quick safety briefing before setting off on whichever activity you've booked, whether that's a quad bike, dune buggy, or 4x4 dune-bashing ride across the red sand.

As the sun rises over the dunes, you'll have the chance to enjoy the changing light and, depending on your ticket, add a camel ride or try sandboarding down the slopes. The experience wraps up with a breakfast spread and unlimited water and soft drinks before you're driven back to your hotel.

Things to note

  • Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for sand and outdoor activity
  • Dress in comfortable, breathable clothing you don't mind getting dusty
  • Bring sunglasses and sunscreen, as there's little shade in the desert
  • A hat or scarf helps protect against sun and blowing sand
  • Mornings in the desert can be cool, so a light jacket is worth packing
  • Have your camera or phone ready for sunrise photos before the dunes get too dusty
