Overview
If you fancy a morning expedition to immerse yourself in the serenity of the Arabian desert, this tour is for you. Escape the city as you head north towards the outskirts, where an endless stretch of sand awaits. Reaching the desert, you'll hit pause to deflate the car tyres before embarking on an exhilarating ride over the undulating dunes and into the wilderness, making several stops along the way for photos.
Continue the journey to our desert campsite where you can indulge in a traditional welcome with gahwa (Arabic coffee) and local dates. Then, stretch your legs before hopping on for a short camel ride and testing your skills at sandboarding.
As the adventure concludes, a pleasant drive brings you back to the city. Can you imagine a more fulfilling start to your day?
