This Evening Desert Safari with Dune Buggy follows the same classic evening safari flow, but adds a self drive dune buggy session in the Lahbab Red Dunes before the camp night begins. You are picked up from your location in Dubai in a shared 4×4, then enjoy buggy driving in the red dunes, dune bashing with a licensed driver, sandboarding, a camel ride, and a sunset photo stop.
After the desert adventure, you head to a traditional camp for unlimited refreshments, starter food, an international BBQ buffet dinner (veg and non veg), and live entertainment shows including belly dance, Tanoura, and fire show.
