Dubai, UAE – Day 1 – Desert Dune Drive Safari

November 21, 2011

Today we are doing a desert safari tour in a 4 X 4 vehicle.  We drove deep into the desert where the driver took us on a wild rollercoaster desert drive.  This type of ride is known as dune bashing traveling up and down the towering dunes.  I thought the truck was going to tip over which added to the excitement.

After our crazy ride we drove to the camel and Bedoiun settlements where we had a chance to see how they live Arabian style.  We had a good time sand surfing and taking in the breathtaking sunset views.
