For those seeking a thrilling, unique experience in Dubai, sandboarding is an absolute must! Imagine gliding down the golden dunes of the vast Arabian Desert, with nothing but endless sands and the clear blue sky around you. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or simply looking for a fun, memorable desert activity, sandboarding Dubai offers the perfect combination of adventure and nature.
Sandboarding is the desert version of snowboarding, but instead of icy slopes, you’ll be sliding down the soft, warm sand dunes of the Dubai desert. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced boarder, the soft sands provide an exciting and forgiving terrain for all skill levels.
This activity combines the thrill of speeding down dunes with the beauty and serenity of the desert landscape, making it one of the most popular things to do in Dubai’s desert.
The best way to experience sandboarding is as part of a Desert Safari Tour. After an exciting dune bashing session in a 4x4 Land Cruiser, you’ll be transported to the perfect sandboarding location — tall, pristine dunes that are ideal for catching some speed. Our experienced guides will help you get on the board and give you tips on how to ride the dunes, whether you want to take it slow or go for a high-speed descent.
