Tour Overview

Feel the pure rush of gliding across towering mountains of crimson sand on our Sandboarding Dubai Desert Tour. Sandboarding is one of the UAE's most iconic recreational activities—similar to snowboarding, but set against the warm, sun-kissed slopes of the Arabian desert.

We take you to the famous Lahbab desert region, home to the UAE's tallest natural red dunes. Strap into a specially crafted sandboard, master your balance under the instruction of our expert guides, and carve your way down dramatic ridges.

"An absolutely thrilling dunes experience! The pickup was slightly delayed due to Dubai traffic, but our driver Mustafa handled it professionally, calling us in advance to keep us updated. The dune bashing was incredibly exciting yet felt safe under Mustafa's expert handling. The BBQ dinner buffet had a great variety, and the live tanoura dance was the highlight of the night. Highly recommend!"
