Overview
- Duration:6 hours 0 minutes
- Travelers:1 - 15 guests
- Tour Type:Private tour
- Language:English, German
Same desert, same evening, but the car is yours. No waiting for other hotels on the pickup route and no sharing seats with strangers. It suits families, couples and small groups of friends.
Your driver picks you up from your hotel in the afternoon and heads straight for the dunes. You get a proper dune bashing session and a photo stop as the sun gets low. Tell your driver if you want it wilder or calmer; it's your car.
At the camp there's a short camel ride, sandboarding, henna and photos in traditional dress. Dinner is a BBQ buffet, followed by the Tanoura and belly dance shows. When you're ready, your driver takes you back to your hotel.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Up to 6 guests fit in one 4x4, and children count towards that number.

Itinerary
Pickup
Our driver picks you up from your hotel in an air-conditioned 4x4 and you head out toward the desert.
Dune Bashing
Once we're off-road, the driver takes you over the dunes for a good 20-30 minutes of dune bashing. It's bumpy, it's fast in places, and most people come out grinning.
Camel Farm Visit
On the way to camp we pass a camel farm – a quick look at the animals and a chance to grab a photo.
Photo Stop in the Dunes
A short stop in the open desert for pictures, usually with good light as the sun starts going down.
Short Camel Ride
A guided camel ride at the camp entrance – slow-paced and easy, suitable for most ages.
Sandboarding
Grab a board and try sliding down the dunes. Free to have a go as many times as you like.
Henna Painting
One of our artists will do a henna design on your hands or feet if you'd like one.
Photo with a Falcon
When available, you can get a photo with a falcon at the camp – always a hit with visitors.
Try On Traditional Attire
Dress up in a kandura or abaya for photos before dinner.
BBQ Buffet Dinner
Dinner is served buffet-style with a mix of Arabic grills and international dishes, so there's something for most tastes.
Shisha
After dinner, sit back with a shisha if that's your thing – part of the camp's chill-out area.
Belly Dance Show
A belly dance performance around the camp (this one's paused during Ramadan).
Tanoura Show
A Tanoura performance – the spinning-skirt dance that's become one of the signature shows at desert camps.
Stargazing
Once the shows finish, there's time to sit back and look at the sky – away from the city, you'll actually see stars.
Drop-off
We drive you back and drop you at your hotel.
