4.7/5
51 reviews

Experience the desert at sunrise, its most mystical and tranquil time. Admire the wildlife and enjoy a morning picnic, an exciting way to start your day!

After pick-up from Dubai, you'll enjoy a 4x4 drive across the dunes to see the desert come alive. Watch the protected indigenous wildlife in their natural habitats in the early hours of the morning, such as the desert gazelle and the Arabian oryx.

There will then be a short drive to the Al Qudra Lakes, which is part of the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve. Across the series of lakes at Al Qudra, you'll enjoy a picnic breakfast or leisurely ride. There will be Arabic coffee, dates and refreshments for you too on this tour!

    Vi hade fått 04:00 som starttid, men fick ett SMS 00:00 (alltså 4 timmar innan) om att den blivit flyttad till 05.00. Bilen kom dock inte förrän 05:30… Tråkigt med en hel del missad sömn. I övrigt en trevlig upplevelse.
