Overview
Pick-up & Ride to the Desert
Get ready to reward yourself with the best of the desert with this experience. The much awaited journey begins as you hop on the air-conditioned 4WD vehicle waiting to pick you up from your hotel and take you to the desert. At the first stop, you’ll get to explore a camel farm and have close encounters with the camels.
Dune Bashing & Sandboarding
This is your chance to enjoy the best of the desert by taking part in some sandy adventures. The first activity is a thrilling dune bashing. Hop on a 4X4 vehicle and feel that adrenaline-rush as our experienced driver accelerates the vehicle and bashes the dunes. To add more to the fun, hop on a sandboard and glide down those slopes like a pro.
