Take the wheel of your own 2-seater or 4-seater dune buggy on an evening desert safari near Dubai, then continue with sandboarding, a camel ride and a BBQ dinner at a traditional camp with live shows. Hotel pick-up and drop-off across Dubai are included for a complete desert evening.
Your evening begins with collection from your Dubai accommodation in a 4x4 vehicle. After a safety briefing and equipment check, you drive your dune buggy across golden sand dunes with guide support.
Try sandboarding on the slopes and enjoy a short camel ride as the light softens towards sunset. Then head to a desert camp for Arabic coffee, dates and a BBQ buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices.
Relax under the stars with live performances before your return transfer to Dubai. No driving licence is needed for the buggy experience when you follow guide instructions and meet age requirements.
The safari takes place in the Dubai desert dune fields outside the city, typically 45 to 60 minutes from central Dubai depending on traffic and your pick-up point.
Camp facilities provide seating, dinner service and entertainment areas. Buggy riding uses designated dune routes with safety equipment provided.
No previous buggy or desert driving experience is required. You must meet minimum age rules for driving or riding as a passenger and follow all safety guidance on the day.

The package combines self-drive buggy time with camp hospitality, so you get both active dune time and a relaxed dinner experience in one trip.
