5.Red Sand Dunes (Safari trip)

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 28 reviews · from $88

Riyadh Red Sand Dunes safari: camel farm, sandboarding, dune walking, optional quad/buggy rides, sunset stargazing, dinner add-on.

“First of all, I had an enjoyable experience with sand dunes and sandboarding in the desert. The trip was reasonably priced and convenient, and the guide was enthusiastic and made a clear effort to do his job well. However, there is a concern I would like to mention. The tour guide could not speak English, and it ended up being only myself and my partner on the tour, as he booked at the last minute. I would have expected to be informed of this situation in advance. I cannot imagine how difficult it would have been if I had joined the tour alone. Because of the language barrier, he had…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 19 reviews · 4 hours · from $99

Quad biking in Riyadh’s red sand desert, a short camel ride, and a heritage village walk, with pickup and refreshments included.

“5 STARS - Our Guide Naif was great! My friend and I was picked up from our AirBnb in central Riyadh by the friendly Naif (this was already good news as we had intially thought we would need to meet at a general pickup spot!). 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…”

8.Red Sand Dunes Tour with Quad Bike and Camel Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 14 reviews · from $41Best value

Riyadh red sand dunes tour with quad biking, dune bashing, sandboarding, and camel ride near Thumamah Desert, ideal at sunrise or sunset.

“✅Price ✅Friendly ✅Great view ✅FUN ❌Sand ❌Water The experience was really good... Guide was riding with us and showed us places with great views... Helped us also with pictures and videos. I recommend to take bottle of water and also some mouth/face cover because you will get a lot of sand 😁 Also there is more people renting quads so make sure you are at the correct place because you might end up on a quad which you didnt pay for and you will get charged twice... I highly recommend this attraction when you are in Ryiadh 👌👌👌”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 10 reviews · 1 day · from $108

VIP Red Dunes in Riyadh Province: dune bashing, sandboarding, camel rides, quad biking, and Arabian coffee with sunset views in a private group.

“What an incredible experience. I knew it would be fun, but it’s quite literally breath taking. The quad bike (ATV) worked great and you can choose from automatic or manual. It’s a HUGE area you’re able to ride on. Really felt like unlimited space to ride. Awesome people, views, and so much more. Try it for yourself. You don’t need experience and can go as fast or slow as you want. You can do two to a bike if you would like. The Camil ride was fun too. You get on the camil and go around for a bit. The guides took a bunch of pics and videos and sent…”
