Desert Safari & Dune Bashing

The United Arab Emirates boasts some of the most exquisite desert scenery. The endless expanses of sandy light brown are adorned by soft rolling dunes that look like velvet hills from a distance. The feel of these dunes is just as perfect as it looks and it really is hard not to fall in love with them. The desert side of the UAE is one of the most popular tourist attractions as it gives the perfect feel of authentic Arabia.

It is not just the exquisite scenery that the rolling dunes of Arabia are famous for; it is a region filled with fun and adrenaline pumping adventure. The desert and the dunes are fantastic locations to experience raw and authentic off road driving. Abu Dhabi affords plenty of tour packages that provide you with everything you need for a fun and adventurous desert safari.
