Lahbab Red Dunes Desert Safari Dubai
Key Activity Details at a Glance
Tour Overview
Journey to the epicenter of Dubai's dune adventure with the Lahbab Red Dunes Desert Safari Dubai. Located approximately 50 kilometers south of Dubai city, the Lahbab desert is celebrated globally for its surreal, deep-crimson sand formations and massive dunes such as Big Red.
High-Intensity Dune Bashing in Lahbab
Because Lahbab's dunes are significantly taller and steeper than suburban desert areas, dune bashing here is vastly more thrilling. Hold on as your licensed desert driver drifts across steep ridgelines and descends breathtaking drop-offs.
Sunset Sandboarding & Bedouin Camp
At the highest peak, slide down the velvety slopes on professional sandboards and capture postcard-perfect sunset photos. Later, arrive at our desert oasis camp for camel riding, Arabic coffee, a grand BBQ dinner buffet, and captivating stage performances.
