Tour Overview

The Desert Safari with Dune Buggy combo brings you the best of both worlds: high-octane self-drive motorsport action combined with Dubai’s premier cultural evening desert safari.

Start by taking command of a high-performance dune buggy across open red dunes behind a certified marshal. Then, transition into a 4x4 Land Cruiser for extreme dune bashing and sandboarding before arriving at our authentic Bedouin desert camp. Enjoy camel riding, falcon photo ops, henna painting, shisha lounge access, and a sumptuous 5-star live BBQ dinner buffet accompanied by mesmerizing live shows: Tanoura dancing, belly dancing, and thrilling fire performances.
