Frequently Asked Questions

Is dune bashing safe for children or seniors?

Dune bashing is not recommended for pregnant women or guests with severe back problems. Children aged 3 and above are welcome. We can arrange a gentle non-bashing desert drive upon request.

What should I wear to the desert?

Wear comfortable loose cotton clothing and sandals or sneakers. In the winter months (November - March), bring a light jacket as the desert cools down quickly at night.

Exhilarating dune bashing and lovely dinner!

Our driver Ahmed was a legend on the dunes! Safe yet incredibly exciting. The camp food was hot and delicious, especially the lamb kebabs. The fire show finale had everyone clapping.
