Red Dunes Safari Tour with Kashta

We invite you to spend a unique Arabian outing in the heart of the tranquil Riyadh desert, after an exciting and adventurous day among the famous red sand dunes.

Your experience begins with an exciting dune bashing experience, followed by fun activities such as sand tank (quad bike) riding and sand skiing, in a limitless open environment.

While you enjoy the picturesque sandy landscape, a comfortable kashta session awaits you on traditional Arabian carpets, around a blazing fire that adds a special warmth to the experience. Bring your playing cards or some board games and share stories as the sunset unfolds, while you might spot a herd of camels, or even a desert fox or gazelle appearing on the horizon.

The seating area is carefully appointed with traditional Sadu patterns that reflect Arab heritage, providing the perfect setting for a grilled meal or traditionally pressure-cooked food – a highly recommended addition for those who want to experience authentic taste.

Depending on your starting location, you may pass famous landmarks such as the Kingdom Tower and Al Faisaliah Tower along the way, while the views shift from the modern city to the quiet suburbs and then to the open desert.

You will see camel farms scattered on both sides, and you may come across a herd crossing the road, in a natural scene that reflects the spirit of Bedouin life.

All this is amidst shades of sand from light yellow to deep red, and desert plants such as shrubs and acacia trees that add a special beauty to the place.
