Jeep safaris offer the excitement of rough riding over the desert with all the mod cons like air conditioning. There's plenty of culture to soak up too, on either a half or a full day outing. With your trained guide, you'll visit typical Bedouin camps and experience their unique nomadic culture for yourself. You'll also get the chance to go camel riding into the sunset, before sitting down to a candlelit barbecue dinner beneath the stars.

There are different safaris to suit different tastes, whether you want an adrenalin rush or just a calm, relaxing trek. Jeep, quad and bike safaris are great if you fancy a spot of gravity-defying, off-roading, G-force driving. But it you're after the authentic desert experience, overnight camel safaris are perfect for peaceful reflection in the desert's jaw-dropping sandscapes.

Most jeep tours offer full day safaris. With a full action packed itinerary, you'll get the chance to go dune bashing and sand surfing. Like snowboarding, but in powdery sands instead of snow, you'll hike to the top of a sandy ridge before strapping on your board and swooshing your way down to the bottom. After a day of action and adventure, you'll sit down to dinner beneath the stars. For the full experience, look for a camp with traditional food and belly-dancers.
