How to Explore Saudi’s Sands

Dune Bashing

Hop into a 4×4 for a thrilling experience through Saudi’s sand dunes. This form of off-roading combines mud and hill driving, and it’s popular throughout Saudi Arabia. Balance and speed are key to steering and handling a vehicle going up and down the dunes, so it’s best for visitors to buckle up with an experienced local tour provider with an intimate knowledge of the terrain.

Camel Riding

Prefer to explore Saudi’s expansive desert at a slower pace Saddle up on a dromedary, also known as an Arabian camel, which has one hump and can reach up to 2 meters tall. For more than 3,000 years, camels have been a part of life on the peninsula, transporting goods and people and providing milk and meat. Ride a camel at Thumamah National Park or while on a Bedouin camping excursion.

Arabian Camping

For a true Arabian experience, sleep among the sand dunes and beneath the stars. Book your campsite in advance, and you’ll be set up with a tent in the desert. Fuel up on fresh Arabic coffee in the morning before heading out to enjoy activities, such as dune bashing, camel riding and sand skiing
