The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a reusable water bottle
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters per person—guides provide additional water but staying hydrated before and during prevents fatigue.
Wear goggles and secure loose items
Wind and sand are constant; goggles and zipped pockets keep eyes and belongings safe while you drive.
Dress in layers for temperature swings
Evenings start warm and can drop quickly after sunset—light jacket and long sleeves protect against chill and sand.
Follow the guide’s line
Driving off the guided track risks getting stuck and damaging dunes—stay with the group and heed safety briefings.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Pull off at a small crested ridge for a quiet skyline view away from main runs

Wildlife
- •Desert fox (red fox)
- •Sand gazelle (rarer in central dunes)
Conservation Note
Stay on guided lines and avoid driving on vegetated areas; many tours work with local reserves to limit impact and protect native fauna and fragile dune structures.
The dunes lie along old Bedouin routes; historically this landscape supported seasonal grazing and caravan movement, later becoming a recreation area as Dubai expanded.
