1. Hotel Pickup and Journey to Al Lahbab

2. Explore the Red Dunes in a 4×4 Vehicle
Head into the desert with an experienced driver and discover the slopes and ridges of the red sand dunes. The changing elevations and natural formations create an exciting off-road journey, with the surrounding desert providing an impressive backdrop.
3. Enjoy the Optional 350cc Quad Bike Ride
Guests who book the quad bike package can participate in a 30-minute 350cc quad bike experience. Follow the safety briefing and riding instructions before taking part in the activity. This ride is exclusive to the upgraded package and is not included in standard or private safari tickets.

After the desert adventure, continue to the camp for a more relaxed experience. Enjoy Arabic coffee and an oud welcome while exploring the available cultural activities. Try henna painting, take photographs wearing traditional Arabian costumes or enjoy sheesha smoking.
5. Savour a Traditional BBQ Buffet Dinner
As the evening progresses, enjoy a BBQ buffet featuring vegetarian and non-vegetarian food options. The camp provides a comfortable setting to sit down for dinner after the outdoor activities.
6. Watch Cultural Performances and the Fire Show
The evening programme features Khaliji dance, belly dance, Khaleed – Ce La Vie, Dabka drumming and a fire show. These performances add music, movement and entertainment to the final part of the camp experience.
7. Return to Your Hotel
After the evening programme, travel back to Dubai for hotel drop-off. The complete safari takes approximately six hours, although return timings can vary depending on traffic, the season and operational conditions.
The Al Lahbab desert is known for its distinctive red sand and impressive dune formations. Unlike a desert visit focused primarily on camp activities, this safari places the red dune landscape at the centre of the experience.
Striking Red Sand Formations
The reddish-orange sand creates a distinctive landscape, with high ridges, sloping dunes and wide desert views. The colours become particularly noticeable when sunlight falls across the sand.
An Adventurous 4×4 Desert Drive
The varied dune terrain makes Al Lahbab a popular destination for off-road safari experiences. Travelling across the sandy slopes in a 4×4 vehicle adds an adventurous element to the journey.
More Than a Desert Drive
After exploring the dunes, guests can enjoy a traditional camp experience with Arabian hospitality, dining and cultural performances. The combination makes the safari suitable for visitors who want both outdoor activities and evening entertainment.
- Adventure Lovers: Enjoy 4×4 desert driving and choose the optional quad bike package for an additional activity.
- Couples: Spend an evening exploring the red dunes before enjoying dinner and entertainment at the camp.
- Families: Choose a shared or private safari depending on group size and activity suitability.

- Advance Booking: Reserve your preferred safari date in advance, especially during weekends, public holidays and peak tourist seasons.
