Half-Day Dubai Dunes Quad Bike Tour with Camel Ride & Sandboarding
Swap Dubai’s skyline for red sand ridgelines on a half-day Lehbab excursion. Quad bike across dunes, sandboard down silky slopes, and relax with Bedouin-style refreshments and a camel ride.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed-toe shoes
Sand gets hot and quads kick up grit—sturdy trainers or light hiking shoes protect your feet and provide grip.
Protect against sun and sand
Wide-brim hat, sunglasses with side coverage, and high-SPF sunscreen reduce glare and wind-blown sand irritation.
Hydrate before and during
Carry a reusable bottle and drink regularly—guides supply water but desert heat dehydrates quickly.
Listen to the safety briefing
ATV handling and dune etiquette prevent rollovers and protect fragile dune vegetation—follow guide instructions closely.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sunset crest east of the main staging area for unobstructed color and silhouette photos
- •Small dune bowls near the camp that retain smoother sand ideal for beginners to practice sandboarding
Wildlife
- •Arabian oryx (occasionally seen in conservation areas)
- •Desert fox
Conservation Note
Stay on marked tracks and avoid off-route driving—dune vegetation and cryptobiotic soil are fragile; operators typically follow permit rules to reduce impact.
Lehbab and the greater Dubai desert were traditional grazing and caravan corridors; modern tourism borrows Bedouin hospitality cues like coffee and date rituals.
