Overview

Head into the UAE desert on an exciting self-drive adventure from Dubai. Choose a 1- or 2-night trip, take the wheel of a Jeep Wrangler, and rumble to the dunes of Pink Rock, before camping under the desert stars. On the second day, enjoy a dune bash and return to Dubai, or tackle the towering dunes of the beautiful desert before another night in the desert. Breakfast and a campfire barbecue dinner on each day are included, as are Dubai hotel pickups and drop-offs.

Day 1: Dubai – Desert Driving - Desert Camp (D)
Begin your 1- or 2-night trip with a hotel pickup and collect your air-conditioned Jeep. Get a safety briefing, driving instructions and a walkie-talkie, and drive your 4x4 along the tarmac roads into the desert.

After deflating your tires for off-road driving, leave the tarmac and cross the undulating sands to Pink Rock dune. Learn the desert-driving essentials here, swapping driving with your passengers as you wish. Watch for camels and desert wildlife, and make photo stops on route to Big Red, a beautiful area of high dunes.

Have fun negotiating the sands, and then thrill as you tackle the higher, rock-crowned Fossil Rock before driving through more dunes to a desert campsite.

Set up your tent, and enjoy a barbecue dinner under the stars as you chat over your exploits.

Overnight: Desert Camp

Day 2: Desert Camp – Dubai (B), or Liwa (B, L, D)After an early campfire breakfast, pack up camp. Then, if you’ve chosen the 1-night tour, enjoying an exhilarating morning dune bash before ending your tour in Dubai.

For the 2-night tour, follow breakfast with a 4-hour drive to Liwa, a remote region in the Rub al Khali or 'Empty Quarter' that’s home to the Arabian Peninsula’s highest dunes.

After a buffet lunch at a hotel, take an exhilarating dune drive. Master more advanced maneuvers and feel your adrenaline race as you slip and spin around the slopes.

Make camp in Liwa and enjoy a barbecue dinner under a spectacular canopy of stars before settling in your tent.

Overnight: Desert Camp in Liwa

Day 3: Liwa – Dubai (B)After breakfast, leave camp and drive back to Dubai, where your tour ends around noon.

I and my husband took a one-night trip to the desert in December 2020. It was one of the most fantastic experiences in our life! The look of the desert is just breath-taking, fascinating. We watched a beautiful sunset, and in the following morning I woke up very early to capture just amazing sunrize! It's impossible to explain how great it is out there, very calm, very nice. We had a very kind and nice guide Otieno (David), who was constantly helping us to get the best possible experience. Otieno is a very friendly, accommodating, and encouraging guide. In the evening we cooked our dinner all together with Otieno, which we picked up on the way to the desert. The food was just great and it was even too much food for us ;-) In the morning we ate breakfast in our camp again and continued driving. Even for an urban person, as I am, this trip was just AMAZING. All people in OffRoad Zone are very friendly and nice, Claris was supporting us through the whole journey as well. It was very nice of her. I totally recommend it to everyone, this fusion with nature totally worth it. And I really hope that we will have a chance to do it again. Thanks to OffRoad Zone, and especially to Otieno and to Claris for making our experience unforgettable. Best, Maria and Gergely

Our guide David made sure we had a great experience with our total group of 9. He quickly learned us how to drive through the desert and made sure it was a lot of fun. He had it under control during the tour and helped out when needed. Driving was great and adventurous, the BBQ in the desert at night was delicious, as was the breakfast in the morning. Overall a unique experience. Thanks David! Henk
