Dune Buggy & Private Dinner in the Dunes in Mleiha National Park

About this experience

Dune Buggy and Private Dinner in the Dunes is a five-hour desert experience set in Mleiha National Park, Sharjah, departing from Dubai hotels with return transfers included. Mleiha is one of the UAE's most significant archaeological sites, with human habitation dating back over 130,000 years, and the landscape combines ancient fossil beds, dramatic dune formations, and open desert terrain that makes it a distinct setting among Dubai attractions. The programme covers a guided dune buggy drive across the sands, a fossil discovery session at Fossil Rock, and a photo stop at Camel Rock, a naturally formed sandstone outcrop that draws visitors for its silhouette against the desert skyline. Beyond the driving and geology stops, the itinerary includes sandboarding down the dunes and a camel ride, rounding out the range of terrain activities before the evening closes with a private Arabic dinner served among the dunes. Refreshments and all safety gear are provided throughout, and the introduction to Mleiha's ancient history adds context to the fossil and rock formations encountered along the route. Tickets cover the full five-hour programme, all listed activities, private dinner, and hotel pick-up and drop-off from Dubai. Alcoholic drinks are not included. The experience is not suitable for wheelchair users, and cancellation terms apply before a set date.
