I have since done Sandboarding in Namibia which was part of the African adventures that also us taking to Victoria Falls’ Devil’s Pool. The tours for Dubai sandboarding tour can either be part of the Dubai desert safari or it can be a standalone 4-5 hour sandboarding experience. As it was my first time doing it at the time I opted for the combined tour but in Nambia we opted for the full Sandboarding tour having not just that much time to fo the sandboarding on the combined tour.

Sandboarding In Dubai |  Dubai Desert Safari Experience

 

Sandboarding in Dubai and desert dune experience tours start with a 4×4 driver through the desert to and showcase some of Dubai’s beautiful desert dunes. You are then taken to a spot where the sandboarding or sand surfing as some call it, takes place and this is where the guide provides instructions on how to slide, steer, and surf down the dunes for beginners but for those with experience you will breeze through this part with just the safety briefing.

 

Most of the tours for sandboarding in Dubai provide a hotel pickup and drop-off from. The sandboarding desert tour last about 4 hours but you can also choose to do it in the morning or as part of the evening Dubai desert safari. This will include learning what sandboarding is like and the differences between sandboarding and snowboarding and their techniques.

After all the fun is completed you will then head back to Dubai, if you selected a tour that includes evening entertainment at a desert camp with Bedouins style tents, then a safari bbq with plenty of food and belly dancers come as part of the evening’s entertainment.

What To Wear Sandboarding In Dubai

 

In my post on what to wear in Dubai, I covered a bit about what to wear on a Dubai desert safari but that is in majority for women. If you are going to take part in Sandboarding I would advise the ladies to either pack an additional pair or clothing or make sure that you wear leggings or loose-fitting trousers or shorts so that you are comfortable for the activity. The same goes for the men, shorts or loose-fitting trouser. Also, don’t forget to pack:

 

• Wet Wipes – Sand will get in everywhere!

 

• Suncream – Dubai is hot and the only shade you will have in the Bedouin camps but that is after all the outdoor activities so make sure you protect your skin because cancer doesn’t discriminate. That goes for my brown folk that thinks they don’t need sun cream.

 

• Scarf or jumper  – This is if you are doing a combined tour as those tours finish in the evening and the desert can get surprisingly cold.

 

• Comfortable Shoes – This goes without saying, comfortable shoes are a must on the tour. If you have tried walking in sand in flip flops you will know what I mean so don’t try and come in flip flops for a sandboarding session!
