After pickup from your Dubai hotel, leave the city by air-conditioned vehicle and travel deep into the surrounding desert. On arrival at the base camp, listen to a safety briefing, don a safety helmet, and hop inside your chunky, automatic 2-seater 4x4 buggy. Get instructions on using the controls and the rules of off-road driving, and when you're ready, set off on your 30-minute buggy adventure. Traveling in convoy behind a guide, take your buggy up and down small dunes to get a feel for the ride. Then, after a break for refreshments, hit the wheel again for the next part of your journey. Take on higher, more challenging dunes; roaring up, down and over steep sandy slopes on route. A stop in the middle of desert over the dunes to have amazing pictures and to try out the thrilling sand-boarding activity over the dunes. Head back the journey towards the meeting point again with our guide. Arrived at meeting point and try a short camel riding experience and return back tot he hotel
