Dubai Dinner Desert Safari with 1-Hour Quad Bike, Camel Ride & Dune Bash
Spend an evening in the Lahbab dunes: dune bashing, a 1-hour quad-bike loop, camel rides and a BBQ dinner with live entertainment. Practical tips for safety, timing and what to pack before you go.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you arrive
Carry and drink water before the quad ride—desert exertion and wind dehydrate quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand and shifting terrain make sturdy sneakers or boots far better than sandals for quad and walking.
Protect from sun and sand
Bring sunglasses, a hat or scarf, and SPF; goggles or a buff keep sand out during riding.
Listen to the safety briefing
Follow the instructor’s rules for quad control and dune etiquette—speeds and lines are managed for safety.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Climb a nearby lower dune before sunset for a quieter, panoramic photo stop away from the main camp.
- •Ask to try local Arabic sweets and small date varieties offered at the camp—flavors vary by season.
Wildlife
- •Desert hare (capable of quick dashes at dusk)
- •Desert lark or small passerine birds that visit sparse shrubs
Conservation Note
The Arabian desert is ecologically fragile—stick to marked routes, avoid disturbing wildlife and take your waste back to the city to minimize impact.
The Lahbab dunes sit on wind-deposited sands formed over thousands of years; the region served as seasonal grazing and travel corridors for Bedouin communities long before tourist camps arrived.
