Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Product code: 2168DXB007
Travel by 4WD across the deserts of Dubai on an afternoon excursion that takes you sandboarding on the sands and dining under the stars. Heading into the desert is a must-do experience when you're visiting Dubai.
Zipping along by 4WD, you'll have several photo stops during an exciting drive across the dunes to your first destination, a camel farm. The drive continues across the desert and you will witness a beautiful desert sunset. It's one of the highlights of a trip to the Arabian desert.
Upon arrival at your campsite, you have the opportunity to ride on a camel, experience the thrill of sandboarding and try out a henna design on your hands or feet.
After all that activity you will have worked up an appetite, so enjoy a delicious BBQ dinner and a shisha (the famous Arabic water pipe). The evening also includes a belly dancer performing her show around the campfire in the moonlight (except during Ramadan).
Please note: The belly dancer does not perform during Ramadan (approximately mid-September to mid-October) and alcohol will only be served after 7pm.
