Personalization choices

Shared experiences follow a set programme, but tell us your needs in advance — travelling with small children, no dune bashing, vegetarian meals — and we will advise honestly, including whether a private setup suits you better.

Important information

  • Pickup: free hotel pickup across Dubai, with transfer to the Mleiha dunes. Your driver confirms the exact time on WhatsApp — please be ready in the lobby 10 minutes early.
  • What to bring: closed shoes for dune activities, sunscreen, a light jacket for the evening, and your camera. Sand gets everywhere — that is part of it.
  • Children: kids under 5 join free on shared tours; child pricing is shown in the booking panel. Tell us ages in advance so the drive can be paced accordingly.
  • Cancellation: free cancellation up to 24 hours before your tour. Rescheduling is free subject to availability.

Safety & suitability

  • All dune driving is handled by licensed, experienced desert drivers — guests never drive the 4×4.
  • Dune bashing is not advised during pregnancy or for guests with back or heart conditions. Choose a gentle-driving or no-bashing arrangement instead — we will set it up.
  • Travelling with elderly guests, infants or mobility needs? Message us before booking so we can plan pickup, seating and pacing.

Meeting & pickup

We collect you from your hotel lobby in Dubai or Sharjah — no meeting point to find. Exact timing is confirmed on WhatsApp the day before; please be ready 10 minutes early.
