A short stop lets you take photos and get ready for the off-road section.

  • Dune bashing plus a traditional desert camp in one evening

Important: Dune Bashing

Dune bashing involves sudden turns, steep ascents and descents, and traversing uneven terrain. This activity is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with back or neck problems, those with heart conditions, or anyone with other medical issues. It is also not recommended for infants (aged 0 to 2 years). Please inform us in advance if you are pregnant, have any injuries or medical conditions, or are accompanied by young children so that we can provide guidance and properly prepare for your experience. You can still enjoy the camp, camel ride, dinner, and shows.
