Desert excursion from Dubai
The first thing you have to keep in mind when doing this excursion is that you must do it with a local agency, since it is forbidden to do it on your own. You have to be aware that it is an immense desert in which you could easily get lost or suffer an accident, if you do not have the skill in driving on dunes that the locals have.
All desert excursions include pick-up at the hotel and a stretch of more than an hour by road until you reach the dune area. From here you can try the experience of driving a buggy or a quad through the desert dunes, after receiving some driving lessons on sand.
Another safer option is to make a journey of about 45 minutes up and down dunes with a 4 × 4 driven by a local expert, which is also included in the price of the excursion and is one of the most top experiences you can live on the journey.
In addition, these tours include sandboarding, an activity that involves sliding with a surfboard from the top of a dune.
After releasing all the adrenaline with these activities you can continue the tour watching a fantastic sunset from the top of a dune and observe how the orange tones of the desert sand change.
