Lahbab Sunset Safari – Camel Ride, Dune Bashing, BBQ & Live Shows

Adventure seekers and culture lovers alike will be drawn to this Lahbab Sunset Safari, which begins with pickup from your Dubai hotel or residence. The journey sets out into the famous red dunes of Lahbab, a region celebrated for its dramatic landscapes and towering sand formations. Whether you want an adrenaline rush or a relaxed evening in the desert, this safari is designed for a wide range of visitors eager to experience Dubai’s natural wonders and vibrant traditions.

Your arrival at the Lahbab desert marks the start of an immersive evening.

A professional guide provides a briefing about the desert experience ahead, ensuring everyone is prepared for the upcoming activities while you take in the golden hues of the setting sun across the sand.

The heart-pounding highlight is a 30–45 minute dune bashing session, where a skilled driver navigates the red dunes in a 4x4 SUV. The ride promises excitement as you crest and descend the rolling sand hills. Afterwards, enjoy sandboarding down the slopes, or take part in a sunset photo stop for incredible desert vistas. A dedicated photo shoot session captures your adventure, and you can don Arabic dress for memorable pictures that reflect the region’s culture.

As the sun sets, the group makes its way to a desert camp, where the evening continues with a variety of cultural experiences. Enjoy a short camel ride, try your hand at henna art with a small design, or relax with unlimited Arabic coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Guests can also enjoy shisha in a designated area. The night is brought to life with live performances including belly dancing, a mesmerizing Tanoura show, and an exhilarating fire dance, all set beneath the starry desert sky.

The experience includes hotel pick-up and drop-off by shared 4x4, starter snacks, a BBQ buffet dinner with grilled meats, vegetarian options, and local specialties, as well as a knowledgeable English-speaking guide. Arabic dress is provided for the photo shoot, and a henna tattoo is included. Exclusions are quad bike and dune buggy rides, certain premium upgrades, alcoholic beverages, souvenir photos or videos, and tips. VIP seating and shisha at your table are reserved for specific upgrade packages.
