Review of Riyadh’s Red Sand Dunes safari, with dune bashing, camels, sandboarding, sunset, dinner, costs, and practical booking advice.
“First of all, I had an enjoyable experience with sand dunes and sandboarding in the desert. The trip was reasonably priced and convenient, and the guide was enthusiastic and made a clear effort to do his job well. However, there is a concern I would like to mention. The tour guide could not speak English, and it ended up being only myself and my partner on the tour, as he booked at the last minute. I would have expected to be informed of this situation in advance. I cannot imagine how difficult it would have been if I had joined the tour alone. Because of the language barrier, he had…”

“It is a marvelous excursion to a Desert Bedouin Camp, offering insights into their life and customs while it is simply fun to be in the camp and appreciate nature, Saudi coffee with dates, or experience the dunes.

Escape Riyadh for Al Thumama dunes, camel rides, quad biking, sandboarding, sunset views, and Arabian coffee in a private tour.
“What an incredible experience. I knew it would be fun, but it’s quite literally breath taking. The quad bike (ATV) worked great and you can choose from automatic or manual. It’s a HUGE area you’re able to ride on. Really felt like unlimited space to ride. Awesome people, views, and so much more. Try it for yourself. You don’t need experience and can go as fast or slow as you want. You can do two to a bike if you would like. The Camil ride was fun too. You get on the camil and go around for a bit. The guides took a bunch of pics and videos and sent…”
