The Dune bashing will last for approximately 40 minutes. Watching the beautiful sight of rays of light to touch every corner of the desert from the high dunes is something remarkable. The transformation of the desert from a dark sleepy land to a fiery orange sandy land is a magical experience. You will be given a few minutes to stop to get to know the deserts up close. The Flora and Fauna of deserts are unique, you may get to see Camels or Gazelles who roaming around the area freely admire the beautiful and mysterious Arabian Desert before you reach the Desert Camp.
