1.Dubai Red Dunes ATV, Camels, Stargazing & 5* BBQ Al Khayma Camp

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21,620 reviews · from $88Our pick

Ride Dubai’s red dunes by ATV, then enjoy camels, BBQ, shows, and stargazing at Al Khayma Camp for $88.

“ATV was fun, although I’d like to play with it a bit more. The whole experience is unnecessarily long. With cheap attractions for the second half of the tour - I would’ve much rather be at my hotel quicker. During our tour, the guide kept asking the only woman in the group to pose for photos - I’ll leave you to make up your mind about that but for me - it made the whole experience even longer as we had to wait for them.”

“An excellent trip. Obligatory hotel pickups then onto Mt Tiede.

Onto the restaurant for a nice 3 course meal. “Use to toilet here or you’ll regret it!” Then onto the observation point. It gets cold at the observation point! Wear suitable clothing! Our hosts provided warm clothing if needed! You would not have had, more knowledge of the night sky if Patrick Moore/Brian Cox had been showing us the Stars and…”
