Sunset Dunes Safari: Quad Biking, Camel Ride & VIP Dinner in Dubai's Lehbab Desert
Ride a quad across towering red dunes, try sandboarding, meet a falcon and finish with a VIP Bedouin-style dinner as the sun sinks over Lehbab. This evening desert safari blends adrenaline, culture and sweepingly simple desert landscapes.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book for sunset
Schedule the trip to arrive 60–90 minutes before sunset for cooler temperatures and optimal light for photos.
Hydrate ahead of time
Drink water before departure and carry a small bottle—desert air is dry and activities raise your exertion level.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Light hiking shoes or trainers keep sand out and protect your feet during quadbike and camel segments.
Follow the guide on ATVs
Listen to the safety briefing, stick to marked routes and wear provided helmets and gloves when riding.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Walk a short distance beyond the main camp to quiet viewpoints where tracks thin and the dunes feel endless
- •Ask to hold a falcon after the show — handlers often allow close photos and a short, supervised hold
Wildlife
- •Desert fox (nocturnal)
- •Sand gazelle and small desert lizards
Conservation Note
The dune environment is fragile—stay on marked routes, avoid disturbing vegetation and wildlife, and carry out all trash to reduce erosion and habitat damage.
Lehbab sits along historical inland routes once used by Bedouin caravans; modern desert hospitality keeps many traditional practices like falconry and camel riding alive.
