Full Description

Combine the thrill of driving a 1000cc dune buggy with the complete evening desert safari experience on this 6.5-hour combo tour featuring dune bashing, camp activities, live shows, and a BBQ dinner, all on one ticket.

Pickup is at 3:00 PM from your Abu Dhabi hotel or cruise port in a 4x4 Land Cruiser. At the Al Khatim staging area, gear up and head out for a 30 or 60-minute twin-seater dune buggy drive behind a lead marshal. Then continue in the 4x4 for 45 minutes of dune bashing across high sand ridges, followed by sunset photo stops, sandboarding, camel riding, and henna art.

Spend your evening at a Bedouin desert camp enjoying a Halal charcoal BBQ buffet and live cultural performances including belly dance, Tanoura spinning, and a fire show.

Buggy drivers must be 18 or older with a valid licence. Passengers must be at least 6 years old. Non-driving companions can book the standard evening safari rate, travel in the same 4x4, and join you at camp for the full evening experience.

You are returned to your hotel by approximately 9:30 PM. Great for groups where some members want to drive and others prefer to enjoy the camp. Shared and private vehicle options are available at checkout.
