If you haven’t lived the excitement of dune bashing in Abu Dhabi, trust us, you’ve experienced nothing yet! This one-of-a-kind drive over high dunes and soft sands is a journey worth taking at least once in a lifetime.
Owing to Abu Dhabi’s sub-tropical climate and minimum rainfall, any time of the year is a good time to engage in this activity. Numerous tours operate all-year-round that conduct these thrilling desert safaris.
The drive is often a safe one, as you ride with experienced drivers with the seat-belt tightly fastened, however, if you prefer a relatively smooth ride, you may ask your tour operator for a private vehicle and request a slower and smoother ride.
If you enjoy an adrenaline rush, the high speeds are what you should opt for! Choose a tour that takes you to popular locations like Sweihan and the Liwa Desert, which are home to some of the highest sand dunes in Abu Dhabi!
Tours also offer a host of activities like dirt biking, belly dancing, buffet dinners, sheesha, overnight camps and much more. So rest assured, the fun continues even after you jump over those dunes and make your way to the campsite.
If for any reason you’re facing a medical condition, or are pregnant and unable to go dune bashing, you can always choose the path less travelled, and head straight to the campsite for the other activities where your group can join you later.
Either way, there are many tours, with even more choices so that you can customise them to your preference. So if you’re planning a trip to Abu Dhabi, make sure dune bashing is on your list!
