A guided 4×4 ride over the dunes with a licensed driver. It feels like a roller coaster on sand. The ride is usually 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the tour and the terrain.
Slide down soft dunes on a sandboard. It is beginner-friendly. Instructors show you how to stand, sit, or kneel on the board.
A calm loop on a guided camel. Great for photos. Morning tours sometimes offer longer treks.
Self-drive ATVs on marked tracks with a safety briefing. Included only on quad bike packages or offered as an add-on at certain tours.
