Red Sand Dunes near Riyadh: The 15 Safaris Compared

18 tours  ·  from $41 a head

The red dunes sit about an hour north of the city and the sand really is that colour. These 15 are compared on how much dune bashing you actually get, whether quad bikes and a camel ride are bundled in, and what time the fire and the food start.

“First of all, I had an enjoyable experience with sand dunes and sandboarding in the desert.

We were then driven out to the dessert with 3 other guests to the main spot. Here a few guides/ tours seems to operate and we was directed to our quad bikes. Great time out on the dunes, probably around 45 minutes. Be prepared to get stuck in! We then were directed back for a quick camel ride and photo. Naif even got us some…”
