This combo packs several sides of the Emirati desert into half a day. Hotel pickup in an air-conditioned 4x4, then out on the red dunes it's over to the vehicle you chose when booking: quad, buggy or dirt bike. The machine is handed over after a briefing on driving in the sand, with an instructor close by.
In late afternoon, on to the Bedouin camp for the night portion. A barbecue under the tents with grills, mezze and flatbread, mint tea and Arabic coffee going round at sunset, marshmallows to toast over the fire. Two shows follow, the tanoura dance with its spinning skirt and a belly dance performance. Six hours in all, transfers included. The partner runs several combinations, and both the programme and the options change from one to the next. Tell us which one appeals when you book and we will confirm the exact content and price.
