Pickup 1:30pm to 2pm
Group Shared 4×4

The 4×4 collects you from your hotel or home on a shared basis, and your safari guide meets you at the edge of the dunes.

What the evening looks like

Twenty to thirty minutes of dune driving, then thirty minutes on a quad bike. The machines are single or double seater, so two of you can share one if you would rather ride together.

After the quads it is the sunset photo stop, camel riding and sand boarding, then the camp: dates and gahwa on arrival, the regular Bedouin-style seating area, henna hand painting, traditional costume photos and a BBQ dinner with soft drinks.

The entertainment is the Tanoura dance, the fire show and the belly dance show.

How it differs from Premium

Premium seats you in the VIP area at the camp and serves dinner as a buffet with desserts. Everything else — the drive, the quad bikes, the camels, the shows — is the same evening.
