Hotel pickup starts a six-hour desert evening: 4x4 dune bashing, a 30-minute quad, camel and sandboard time at camp, henna, live entertainment and a BBQ dinner, then a return to your stay. Groups run from one to 15 and there is no listed minimum age. Infants sit on laps on the transfer.
Pickup is by 4x4. On the desert edge you switch into dune bashing with a dedicated safari guide, then take a 30-minute quad after a briefing, on a solo or shared bike from the fleet. Guides check the controls before you start and keep you in a marked area.
Camp time covers a camel ride, sandboarding, Arabic coffee, henna, costume photos, belly dance and tanura, plus a buffet BBQ. This is the 30-minute quad version, not the one-hour single-seater safari. Soft drinks are served at camp, and the same 4x4 returns you to your stay after dinner.
The dunes sit outside the city, a drive from Dubai hotels into open sand. The 4x4 section is the off-road leg, while the quad uses a marked area near camp after the briefing. You do not need to find a desert meeting point on your own.
Sunset on the dunes is the usual photo stop before dinner. Wind can lift sand, which is why guides still have the final say and can skip the highest dunes if the track is blowing hard. Evening air at camp is cooler than the city, so a light layer helps after the drive.
No desert driving skill is required for the 4x4, because a safari guide drives that section. The quad needs enough size and confidence for the guides to let you ride after the briefing. Small children usually stay as passengers on the 4x4 rather than taking a solo bike.
Bring a passport, as identification is required. Pack closed shoes, a scarf or glasses for sand, sunscreen and a light layer for the evening, and avoid loose scarves on the quad.
The evening puts a short 30-minute quad on the same safari as dunes, camp, BBQ and hotel pickup, so you are not arranging a separate bike slot. Group size stays up to 15, which suits mixed families including infants on laps.
Guides brief you before dune bashing and before the quad, then host henna, entertainment and a buffet dinner at camp. Arabic coffee and soft drinks are served there, and the return transfer is part of the same 4x4 service.
The 4x4 dune run is driven by a safari guide. The 30-minute quad is self-drive after a briefing, with a solo or shared bike from the fleet. No desert driving licence is required for this outing.
This is the shorter 30-minute quad plus BBQ safari. If you want a full hour on a single-seater quad, look at the separate one-hour quad safari instead.
Sitting through dune bashing, holding a quad for 30 minutes and walking around camp are the demands. Sandboarding is optional at camp if you would rather stay on flat sand.
Infants may sit on laps on the transfer, as noted in the product notes. Small children usually stay as passengers on the 4x4 rather than taking a solo bike.
No minimum age is listed. Infants must sit on laps. A passport is required. Group size is one to 15.
Quad riding is still decided on the day by the guides, based on size and confidence. Small children usually stay as passengers on the 4x4 rather than taking a solo bike.
Bring a passport, closed shoes, a scarf or glasses for sand, sunscreen and a light layer for the evening. Avoid loose scarves on the quad so nothing catches in the controls.
Hotel collection is included. Share your hotel name so the driver can find you. Public transport is nearby in the city, but the safari itself starts with a driver collecting you.
Guides brief you before dune bashing and before the quad. You stay with the convoy on the 4x4. The 30-minute quad runs on marked sand after the team are happy with the controls.
If wind lifts too much sand, parts of the outing can be shortened. Listen to the camp team around fire, henna and the buffet so children stay in the lit area.
Plan for about six hours from pickup to drop-off. That covers the transfer, 4x4 dunes, a 30-minute quad, camel and sandboard time at camp, henna, entertainment and BBQ dinner, then the return.
The quad is 30 minutes, not a full hour. Sunset timing depends on the season, so lobby times change. Stay reachable the day before.
Evenings rarely stop for weather, but dune driving still needs workable wind and visibility. Guides can skip the highest dunes if sand is blowing hard.
If the safari cannot run, the team will offer another time, or you wait on the ground until conditions allow. Confirm pickup the same day so you are not waiting in the lobby for an evening that cannot go ahead.
Dune bashing is bumpy by design. If you prefer a calmer 4x4, say so at pickup so the driver can ease the first runs. The camp, camel, henna, BBQ and entertainment are on flat sand.
The 30-minute quad is optional in practice if a guide decides you should not ride. You still join the rest of the safari with the group.
Hotel collection is included. A 4x4 collects you from your home or hotel and returns you after dinner. There is no desert meeting point to find on your own.
Reply with your hotel name and a mobile number so the driver can find you. Be in the lobby at the time given. Infants sit on laps on the transfer.
Your confirmation email arrives with pickup notes. Reply with guest names and share your hotel name so the driver can find you. Adult prices are listed for this outing.
On the day, wear closed shoes, bring a passport and be ready at lobby time. Tell the team before the day if you need to move the date.
