Red Dune Safari & Quad Bike Adventure with BBQ Dinner in Dubai

The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person; refillable bottles are accepted at camp.
Wear closed‑toe shoes
Sandy, shifting terrain and quad biking both require shoes with grip and ankle support.
Protect from sun and dust
Use high‑SPF sunscreen, a brimmed hat for camp, and sunglasses during rides.
Secure loose items
Tape or zip small gear and use straps for cameras—sand and sudden drops can dislodge equipment.

Conservation Note
Stick to designated routes to avoid fragile dune vegetation; operators should follow local guidelines to minimize disturbance and limit night‑time light pollution.
The Lehbab sands sit on trade and nomadic routes that linked coastal settlements to inland oases; camel herding remains part of the local economy.
