Overview

The classic Lahbab sunset safari

The evening desert safari is our most popular tour. You leave Dubai in the afternoon, ride the tall red dunes of Lahbab in a 4x4 as the light turns golden, stop on a dune crest for the sunset, then spend the evening at a traditional desert camp with live shows and a BBQ dinner under the stars.

One price covers it all: hotel pickup and drop-off, dune bashing, camp activities, dinner and unlimited soft drinks. Families are welcome, anyone who prefers a calm ride can skip the dune bashing, and you pay nothing until the day of your tour.
