Experience Sandboarding on the Dunes

After the buggy ride, it’s time for sandboarding. This activity involves sliding down the dunes on a special board, similar to snowboarding but on sand. You can go lying down or standing up, depending on your comfort level and experience. It’s a fun, balance-driven activity with just the right amount of challenge for first-timers.

Sandboarding

Note: In our tour, sandboarding is done in the traditional way, lying face down on the board. This method offers better control and a safer, more exciting experience.

Tips Before You Go

  • Wear sunglasses and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun and sand.
  • Choose light, comfortable clothing—preferably long-sleeved to shield from wind and sun.
  • Use a scarf or bandana to cover your mouth and nose during the ride.
  • Keep your phone or camera secure to safely capture the best views.
  • Stay hydrated before and after the activity.
