Just because the drive has to end, it doesn’t mean you need to slow things down. Hop on a sandboard and feel the wind in your hair as you slide down the red dunes. After an eventful morning, it’s time to fuel up with a light breakfast, whilst immersing yourself in the beauty of the peaceful desert. You can recap all the fun and start planning your next adventure as the driver takes you back to your hotel.
