REVIEW · DUNE BASHING
Evening Desert Dune Bashing by 4*4 Vehicle
The desert gets lively after sunset. This four-hour Ras Al Khaimah safari combines 45 minutes of dune bashing with a Bedouin-style oasis camp, BBQ dinner, camel riding, sandboarding, henna, and live entertainment. I especially like the strong mix of adrenaline and downtime, plus the included hotel pickup and return within Ras Al Khaimah.
The second big advantage is value. At $49 per person, you get transport, food, drinks, activities, and several shows in one evening. The main caution is that dune bashing is a serious off-road ride, so it may not suit pregnant women, young children, older people, or anyone with back or heart problems.
