The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during
Carry a reusable water bottle; operators provide unlimited bottled water but bring one for the drive and to reduce plastic waste.
Dress for heat and dust
Light, breathable layers and closed-toe shoes keep you comfortable during sand activities and protect against blowing sand.
Secure motion-sensitive items
Dune-bashing is bumpy; store cameras and phones in zipped pockets or a secure bag to avoid damage or loss.
Respect photo rules with falcons and performers
Ask before touching or photographing falcons and dancers; handlers may allow posed photos but follow instructions for safety.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sunset vantage slightly off the main photo stop—ask guides for a quieter ridge to avoid crowds
- •Short sandboard practice run behind the main camp area where soft sand is gentler for beginners
Wildlife
- •Arabian oryx (occasionally in protected areas)
- •Desert fox (nocturnal; may be glimpsed near camp at dusk)
Conservation Note
Stick to designated driving corridors to prevent dune erosion and avoid disturbing flora and fauna; reputable operators follow local conservation guidelines and provide waste disposal at camps.
Lahbab’s dunes lie near traditional Bedouin routes; many camp activities—falconry, camel rides and Arabic coffee—reflect practices used for centuries across the Arabian Peninsula.
