The Experience

Night falls over the Lahbab red dunes and the Land Cruiser rises and dips like a steel beast, throwing warm sand behind it as you head deeper into the desert. The motor's thrum and the sinking orange light set the pace; the wind pushes at your jacket and the dunes seem to lean toward the horizon.

Before You Go

Pack sun protection

Sunglasses, SPF 30+ sunscreen and a wide-brim hat matter—UV is strong even late in the day.

Secure loose items

Hold cameras and phones tightly during dune bashing or use a zippered pack—sand gets everywhere.

Bring a light layer

Temperatures drop quickly after sunset; a thin jacket or hoodie keeps you comfortable at camp.

Hydrate before you go

Drink water ahead of the tour and carry a refillable bottle; camps provide drinks but desert exertion dehydrates fast.

Conservation Note

Dune ecosystems recover slowly; stick to vehicle tracks, avoid off-route driving, and leave no litter to minimize impact.

The Lahbab dunes sit along historic Bedouin routes; camel travel and coffee rituals recall the desert's role as both home and highway.
