About this safari

The morning safari is for people who want the driving, not the dinner. Pickup is around 8 am, the dunes at Al Badayer are 45 minutes away, and you are back at your hotel before 1 pm.

After 30 minutes of dune bashing you stop at the foot of Big Red, the 100-metre dune Sharjah is known for, for sandboarding and a camel ride. Quad bikes and buggies are booked as add-ons and ridden on a marked track at the top of the dune.

Soft drinks and water are included; there is no meal on the morning tour.
