A visit to Dubai is not complete without a desert excursion–and there are desert tours for every type of explorer! Adventurous dune bashing and sand boarding, romantic sunset drinks and dinner, or even step back in time and explore in a vintage land rover.
Our wild dune bashing tour was organized by the Waldorf Astoria through Extreme Adventure, and extreme and adventure are the exact words I would use to describe it. From rolling and sliding through the sand dunes (thank goodness for seatbelts!) to *watching* Ryan sand board down huge dunes (re watching : I have this thing about sand in my shoes/pants/hair), it was all exciting and thrilling! After the heart racing portion of the tour, we settled into camp for camel riding, henna painting, shisha smoking, belly dancing and a barbecue dinner. Oh and of course, epic desert photo ops.

I went on a Desert Safari on my last visit in Dubai and had such an amazing time! Especially the dune bashing was so much fun 🙂
Gosh that looks beautiful! How hot was it during the day?
Thank you! In April, the days were hot but not unbearable. In the desert, there was actually a breeze so it was fine! But we heard that in the summer, it is unbearably hot and you can’t go outside! I would visit in the spring or fall!
