How the day runs

Pickup is mid-afternoon so we reach the dunes with time before sunset. Dune bashing comes first while the light is still strong, then the sunset stop, then the camp for the rest of the evening. Dinner is served after the shows and you are home by about half past nine.

Chiltan Tours is a licensed tour operator based in Dubai. Most of what guests write about is the driver and not being rushed, which is the part we care about most.
