Dubai Red Dune 4WD Desert Safari with BBQ Dinner & Live Shows
Climb into a 4x4 and take on the red dunes of Lahbab for dune-bashing, sandboarding, and a desert camp dinner with live performances. This 6–7 hour safari blends adrenaline with cultural evenings under open sky—ideal for travellers who want spectacle and practical comfort.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring plenty of water
Evenings are cooler but daytime heat is intense; carry at least 1–2 liters and sip frequently.
Take motion-sickness meds if prone
Dune-bashing involves sharp rises and drops—pre-treat if you get carsick.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand gets hot and coarse; closed shoes protect feet during short hikes and sandboarding.
Dress modestly for the camp
Evening performances are public and family-oriented—opt for respectful attire over beachwear.
