Dubai - Dune Bashing


One of the best things we did in Dubai was a bit of Dune Bashing.

We bundle into a four wheel drive, drive half an hour out of Dubai and into the desert. There we zoomed up and down the dunes, sliding all over the place.

After a while we stopped at a steep dune to try a bit of sand-boarding - a bit like snow boarding. But the sand is heavy and slow, so there is less speed and less control. Like snowboarding through thick custard. And turning? Maybe if I could clip my feet in.

Afterwards was coffee and dinner at a small desert outpost. Really good food, and heaps of it.

Thoroughly recommended!
