Dune bashing
This experience is must to have in a desert safari. Just hop onto a 4x4 air-conditioned SUV and get ready for a white-knuckle ride. Enjoy the wobbly ride as the driver steers you through the dipping and ascending sandy dunes. For 20 to 30 minutes, you will be on the edge of your seat, holding firmly and tightly to anything you can lay your hands easily on. We bet you can't walk normally after getting out of the vehicle for a few steps, but you will enjoy the dizzy feeling for the moment. Your tour operator will also allow some time for photography. Capture the desert sunset with your camera. It is an ethereal experience you cannot have it again and again. So, make sure you have a camera with you and not the hotel's room.
Quad bike safari
Put on your safety gears and brace yourself with some instructions from the experts, and reach the height of excitement. Rev up the engine of the bike and let it do the talking with the wind and the sand dunes. The best place to take this experience is the Big Red. Feel the sand on your face as the quad bike cut through the sand crest.
Sandboarding
Considered to be one of the best activities in the desert, specially invented for people looking for thrills and excitement, this is a different type of skiing that you will do only on the sand dune/ Stand on a board similar to that of a snowboard but with a slight modification. The board may look strange or complicated to you, but when you strap it to your feet, you will gain confidence. Just glide down the slopes of sand dunes and feel like a falcon. If you have booked the quad bike safari with a destination management company based in Dubai, you don't have to ask for the quad bike to others.
Camel ride
If you are not on the back of a camel, then you haven't experienced the desert. Camels have been an age-old companion of the desert. There are shorter and longer camel ride available with the tour operators. Just select the latter one and experience how people in the olden days used to move from one city to another. Check the flora and fauna you will encounter as the camel passes through different treks of the desert. This will not be a thrilling and exciting ride just like the dune bashing though, but it will offer total value for your every penny. So you must try Camel riding In Dubai in sunrise
