Dune Driving
The tour starts with a roller-coaster ride across the treacherous dunes in powerful 4x4s. Hold on to your seat while the expert driver slowly climbs a tall mountain of sand, suddenly accelerates at the top and take a sharp dive down the dune cliff. Dangerous as it may sound, it’s absolutely safe and the adrenaline rush you feel through your body makes it all worthwhile.
Sand-Skiing
If you have a taste for speed, a head for heights and an enthusiasm for an unusual sport, then strap on your skis and enjoy the descent down the steep but harmless sand dunes.
Camel Riding
Take a ride on the ship of the desert and experience how the Bedouins travelled in ancient times. While atop camel, watch the evening sun cast its orange glow on the picturesque rippling sands, which indeed is an unforgettable sight.
Exploring The Wadis
Along the way, explore the Wadis (dry river valleys) that are formed by streams flowing down from the Hajjar Mountains. Within the enclave of the dry desert, you’ll suddenly notice rock pools that are filled with water and surrounded by greenery all year round. Nature is truly at its surprising best here.
Desert Feasts
After the adventurous safari, retire to the camp where a traditional Arabian welcome awaits you. Relish a scrumptious barbecue buffet in the mystical Bedouin tents. You can also get yourself tattooed with intricate Arabic henna designs. Enjoy the foot-tapping traditional music while watching breathtaking displays of Arabian falconry. And as the full moon bathes the dunes, lie back under the canopy of stars to make it the perfect end of a beautiful day.
