About this experience
Travel from Dubai toward the desert rock formations and the Hajar foothills for a varied outdoor day.
The described programme combines dune driving and sandboarding with a visit to Wadi Shawka, where rocky terrain and seasonal pools create a different landscape from the dunes. A picnic lunch box is part of the researched itinerary.
Water levels vary and a pool visit does not guarantee swimming. The guide may change the route for weather, water or access conditions.
Allow additional time for the return road journey beyond the advertised activity duration.
