Lahbab Desert Safari

Start your journey towards Lahbab desert with the assistance of our guide. Once you reach the desert, take a break of 25 minutes for the refreshments and to avail bathroom facilities. By the time, you can go for an optional quad bike ride while the safari guide would prepare the vehicle by adjusting the tire pressure for smooth off-roading. Afterwards, enjoy an exhilarating dune bashing session for about 30-45 minutes. Then try out sandboarding, which makes you glide over the sand dunes.
