Sunset Dubai Desert Quad Bike Safari with Camel Ride and BBQ Dinner
Race across red dunes on a guided quad bike, ride a camel as the sun dips, then settle into a traditional BBQ and dance show under the stars. This evening desert safari combines adrenaline, Bedouin-rooted culture, and practical safety briefings for a full-night adventure.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you go
Drink water before pickup; shade is limited and even evening temperatures can be dehydrating after riding.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Sand shifts and grips differently on dunes—sneakers or light hiking shoes protect your feet during riding and short walks.
Protect skin and electronics
Apply high-SPF sunscreen and keep phones/cameras in sealed cases to prevent sand damage while riding.
Follow the guide’s briefing
Speed and slope control on a quad are learned quickly—stick to instructions to avoid rollovers or getting stuck on soft sand.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Big Red (Lahbab) viewpoint for uninterrupted sunset photos
- •Small dune alcoves near the camp that make sheltered picnic spots and calm sunset portraits

Conservation Note
Stick to marked tracks and the operator’s guidance—dune flora and microfauna are fragile, and responsible tours minimize off-track driving and manage waste.
The area sits along routes used by Bedouin communities for centuries; falconry and camel handling are living links to that heritage.
