Full description

This desert trip puts you in the driving seat. After pickup, you head out to the dunes on the edge of the city, get a safety briefing and set off on a guided quad bike ride across the sand.

Between rides there is time for sandboarding down the slopes and a short camel ride at a desert stop, plus plenty of photo opportunities. It is a good fit if you want the adrenaline part of the desert without the full evening programme.
