First, your driver collects you from your confirmed location. Then, travel by 4×4 towards the Lahbab Red Dunes. Pickup is generally planned for the afternoon, but the exact time depends on your location and the season.
Red Dunes and Sunset
Next, your driver takes you dune bashing across the sand. You’ll also have time to try sandboarding and take a short camel ride. Afterwards, stop for photos as the desert light changes near sunset.
If you want a gentler drive, tell the team before your tour. That way, they can discuss a suitable route with you.
