On the day

Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the team (and an optional Saudi welcome band). Comfortable within a traditional tent, you’ll be briefed on the available activities. Think high-octane thrills such as riding electric quads, sandboarding, and dune bashing. Alternatively choose from a dune safari, rejuvenating yoga, epic desert stargazing, or a falconry exhibition.

An exclusive Roam experience is driving an electric quad bike through the Riyadh Dunes. Two to a quad, you'll tear off towards the cobalt blue horizon on these eco-friendly vehicles. The noise pollution is reduced with no loss of power as you surge through the captivating dune-scape. Race, explore, and hopefully encounter wild camels amid the sands.

Afterwards, why not try the addictive sport of sandboarding? Think snowboarding, but without the cold. Strap on a sandboard—the bottom waxed to ease your passage—and set off down one of the immense dunes, the warm wind in your hair. Seemingly modern, this sport was in fact practiced by the ancient Egyptians.

Have a cultural encounter with locals in the dunes. Learn about their day-to-day existence in this starkly beautiful landscape, how they thrive in this extreme environment, and the unique traditions and customs that shape their lives. It's possible that, during your time in the desert, you'll encounter wild camels or even Bedouins.

Included in your package is a sumptuous feast of exquisitely prepared meal. You and your group will dine in a location that offers a 360-degree view over the dunes' maroon expanse. Enhance your experience by choosing to include a dazzling demonstration of Saudi dancing accompanied by exquisite live music.
