VIP Morning Hummer Desert Safari in Lehbab: Dune Bashing, Camel Ride & Sandboarding
A brisk morning in a Hummer H2 through the red dunes of Lehbab, paired with camel rides and sandboarding. This five-hour excursion balances high-adrenaline dune bashing with short cultural moments and practical photo stops.
The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses protect you during exposed morning hours when the sun is strong.
Brace for big vehicle movements
Dune bashing involves sharp climbs and drops—sit where you can see the horizon and hold on during descents to reduce nausea.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Loose sand and hot metal can burn—closed shoes with good traction make camel mounting and sandboarding safer.
Charge and protect camera gear
Sand is abrasive—use sealed bags, a backup battery and a wide-angle lens for sweeping desert shots.
