Drive out of the bustling city and into the peaceful desert aboard a 4x4/ Land Cruiser. When you arrive, enjoy a relaxing rest stop and go on an optional quad bike ride while other convoys catch up.
Continue to the Camp and be welcomed with Arabic coffee, sweets, and dates. Say hello to the camp’s resident camels and, if you’d like, go on a camel ride across the sand.
During your time at the camp, you can smoke Shisha, do Henna painting, and meet the resident falcon expert and his loyal bird.

Highly recommend was a highlight.
kirstenandhenk, May 2026
Had the best day. Was many laughs. Our guide wasn’t the best so we missed some of the itinerary like sand boarding and watching sunset from highest dune. This had nothing to do with 4x4 people it was our tour guide from trip a deal. He just seemed to cut short and took us to outback dinner while daylight and had to sit few hours prior that starting. The 4x4 men did make it fun and we’re trying to get our guide to do stuff but he wasn’t up to it. Highly recommend the tour though. Once dinner started that was a nice night with camel rides, buffet dinner , henna and live entertainment. I held a falcon and I’m not a smoker but gave some big pipe thing ago for laugh. Highly recommend the tour. Just not our guide from trip a deal.

Can you make
babettg2016, February 2026
By now you have to drive really far to have this experience.
Once at the first camp, the driver will immediately lead you to the quads to buy a quad ride. A 2-pers. Quad 250 AED, 20 min. Once on the small track comes constantly control who want to force themselves to drive back because the time is up. You have to discuss this first.
After that we went into the dunes for 15 minutes. Our driver was good and drove safely. But spectacularly I know this differently from previous tours.
From here you drive directly to a camp for dinner. It's pretty boring here. I have to say it's Ramadan and parts of the show didn't happen.
For Premium you should pay extra again as well for Wifi and drinks / food except water and small buffet.
Afterwards we will return to the hotel.
I think it is important to see which provider you book with. This trip will certainly be fun if you meet the right provider and are in another camp for DinnerShow.

Jessica_M, February 2026
We had Nomi as our driver and tour guide, he was lovely, friendly and polite. He was fun in giving us different poses for photos and advised on the best photo moments and opportunities. This included 4x4 driving, sand boarding, dinner and a show at the camp.
Even down to arranging where to park so we didn't get caught up in the crowds when it was time to leave.
We had a great experience.
