Dune Bashing
Dune bashing involves driving a 4×4 SUV vehicle across sand dunes at varying speeds, creating a roller-coaster experience on natural desert terrain. Your family chooses from 3 driving modes: Eco Mode (gentle slopes and slow speeds for families with infants), Family Mode (moderate dunes with balanced excitement), or Sports Mode (steeper dunes with faster driving for thrill-seeking families). The dune bashing session lasts 20-30 minutes depending on your comfort level.
The professional driver follows your instructions on speed and intensity. You can ask the driver to slow down, pause for motion sickness breaks, or skip certain steep dunes. Baby booster seats secure infants safely during the drive, and the SUV vehicles feature roll bars and safety equipment meeting international standards.
Camel Trek
Camel trek provides a traditional desert transport experience where family members ride camels across the sand for 10-15 minutes, creating authentic Arabian adventure memories. The camels are trained for tourist rides and supervised by experienced handlers who assist with mounting and dismounting. Children as young as 3 years old can ride camels, sitting with an adult or in front of the handler for safety.
The camel ride can be extended upon request for families whose children particularly enjoy this activity. Professional photographers capture your family on camels with desert backgrounds, and these photos are available for purchase or included in premium packages. The camels walk at a gentle pace suitable for all family members.
Sunset Photography
Sunset photography sessions position your family at the best viewpoints in the desert, capturing golden hour light as the sun sets over the sand dunes. The desert guide identifies prime photography locations with clear horizons and beautiful dune formations. Your family can use personal cameras or request professional photography services for high-quality family portraits.
The sunset timing changes seasonally, occurring between 5:30-7:00 PM depending on the month. The desert guide plans the tour schedule to ensure your family reaches the photography spot 15-20 minutes before sunset for optimal lighting. The golden and orange tones create stunning natural backdrops without needing photo editing.
Sandboarding Adventure
Sandboarding adventure lets family members slide down sand dunes on boards similar to snowboards, creating exciting fun for children and adults. The activity is unlimited during your desert safari, so family members can sandboard as many times as desired. The boards and safety instructions are provided, and the desert guide demonstrates proper technique before your first run.
Children as young as 5 years old can sandboard on smaller, gentler dunes. Older children and adults can try steeper dunes for more speed and excitement. The soft sand provides a safer landing compared to other board sports, and falls rarely cause injuries. The sandboarding area features multiple dune sizes accommodating different skill levels.
Falconry Display
Falconry display showcases traditional hunting birds used by Bedouins for centuries, with handlers demonstrating how falcons hunt and respond to commands. The falconry session lasts 10-15 minutes and includes educational information about these birds’ role in Emirati culture. Family members can hold the falcon on their arm (with protective glove) for photos and learn about falcon training methods.
The falcon handler explains different falcon species, their hunting capabilities, and their importance in desert survival. Children learn about conservation efforts protecting these birds. The display happens at the campsite before dinner, giving families time to interact with the birds and ask questions.
Traditional Attire
Traditional attire photography lets family members wear Emirati costumes (kandura for men, abaya for women, traditional dress for children) and take photos in authentic cultural clothing. The costume area at the campsite provides various sizes fitting adults and children. You can wear these outfits throughout your campsite visit or just for photo sessions.
The traditional dress experience teaches children about Emirati culture and clothing customs. Professional photographers at the campsite can capture family photos in traditional attire with desert backgrounds. These costumes are cleaned and maintained for hygiene, and families can request fresh garments if needed.
Refreshments
Refreshments include unlimited bottled water, soft drinks, Arabic coffee (gahwa), and dates throughout your desert safari experience. The refreshments start from pickup time and continue through all activities and campsite dining. Arabic coffee is served in traditional dallah pots with dates as a welcome gesture at the campsite, introducing families to Emirati hospitality customs.
The refreshment stations at the campsite offer tea, coffee, soft drinks, and water at all times. Children can access juice boxes and kid-friendly beverages. All beverages meet health and safety standards, with sealed bottles for drinking water. The BBQ dinner includes additional beverage options with the meal service.
Guided Desert Excursion
Guided desert excursion provides professional guides who explain desert ecology, wildlife, geology, and cultural history throughout your family safari tour. The guides share educational information about desert plants, animal adaptations, sand dune formation, and traditional Bedouin lifestyle. This transforms the desert safari from pure entertainment into a learning experience for children.
The guides identify desert wildlife like Arabian oryx tracks, desert foxes, and various bird species. They explain how Bedouins navigated using stars, found water sources, and survived in harsh desert conditions. Children learn about sustainable desert tourism and environmental conservation. The guides answer family questions and customize information based on children’s ages.
Quad Biking
Quad biking provides motorized adventure on four-wheel all-terrain vehicles, letting older children (typically 16+ years) and adults drive across designated desert areas. The quad biking session lasts 30-45 minutes with instructor supervision and safety briefings. Helmets and safety gear are mandatory, and the riding area is controlled with marked boundaries.
Beginners receive basic training before starting their ride, covering acceleration, braking, and steering techniques. The quad bikes come in different engine sizes, with smaller bikes for beginners and larger bikes for experienced riders. Children under the minimum age can ride as passengers with adult drivers.
