Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect during the tour:

1. Hotel Pickup and Transfer

2. Dune Bashing

Once at the dunes, your driver will take you on a thrilling ride over the soft sand hills. Expect 30–40 minutes of pure adrenaline in a professionally driven vehicle.

3. Camel Ride and Sandboarding

After dune bashing, you’ll try a short camel ride. It is great for photos and the full desert vibe. Then, grab a sandboard and glide down the golden slopes at your own pace.

Traditional camping tent setups include sleeping bags, mattresses, pillows, and blankets. The desert does get cold at night, so dress accordingly.

Stargazing and Bonfire Moments

With zero light pollution, the desert sky is crystal clear, making stargazing one of the highlights. We offer a small bonfire setup where you can relax, sip tea, and enjoy the stillness. It’s a rare kind of silence most city visitors never experience.

Wake up early for a desert sunrise, which is every bit as breathtaking as sunset or maybe more. Afterward, enjoy a light breakfast typically including:

• Tea and coffee
• Bread, jam, and cheese
• Boiled eggs or mini omelets

You’ll then pack up, say goodbye to the desert, and head back to the city by 8:30–9:00 AM.
