Abu Dhabi
See all 160 tickets & toursAbu Dhabi's scenic desert accommodates thrill-seeking adventure rides, sandy meanders, and romantic evenings. There really is something for everyone, so long as you can handle the heat!
Bash the dunes in a 4x4
Dunebashing is a popular activity at all times, but even the strong Arabic coffee won't invigorate you ahead of a long day sightseeing like an early morning adrenaline rush!
Ride a camel
Dromedaries (that's the one-hump kind) have played a crucial role in Arabic culture throughout history. Choose the traditional option for a laid-back tour in the afternoon heat.
Treat a special someone
Celebrating a romantic occasion? Sounds like a great excuse to splash out on a private tour! Why not enjoy some authentic Bedouin cuisine as you watch the sunset over the dunes?
Smokey nights
Just because the desert air is beginning to cool, doesn't mean you have to! Warm up with a delicious Arabic barbecue, smoke a shisha, and even watch an outdoor belly-dancing show!
Feeling indecisive?
Still can't decide on the best time of day to see the desert? Ride out to an overnight camp for an evening of starlit entertainment and a morning of strong coffee and breakfast!

Highlight of our holiday in Abu Dhabi. The crew were top notch. Courteous, attentive and ensured a good time was had by all. The trip was better than expected and food was enjoyable.
This is something that is well worth doing. We were picked up from our hotel and taken out to the desert for an experience that was something completely different to our every day lives. Just being in the desert was an eye opener with the heat and the sand and wind blowing the sand. The dune bashing was great and the dinner and dancers amazing. Do it!
Communication about time of pick up was good and accurate. The off road desert safari in 4 x4 was action packed, just out of this world. Went to camp in the desert to get a chance to ride camels, eat and drink, sand boarding and other activities. Only down side was some of the entertainment and alcoholic drinks were taken off the schedule due to Ramadan, we were not told about this. Apart from that, well worth it.
We were picked up by a car which had room for 6 people. So the atmosphere was really familiar and everyone was nice. The guide listened to our wishes and was very attentional. We had a lot of time to take photos in the desert and on a camel farm. The Ride over the dunes was like a rollercoaster. At the Camp we had a lot time to relax and observe the sunset in the desert. We also got nice dinner and an atmospheric evening. Worth every penny. Thanks a lot.
A great time! Recommend everyone do this at some time. So much fun! Our guide was awesome! Great dune bashing fun, bbq dinner and all the amenities.
