How to Plan a Sand Surfing Day (Step by Step)

What is sand surfing (and how it differs)

Sand surfing uses a waxed board to slide seated, prone, or standing on soft desert dunes. Unlike snow, the sand is warm and forgiving; meanwhile, the board’s base and stance keep speed comfortable and controllable. Beginners usually get the hang of it in minutes.

Where we go (routes & scenery)

  • Lahbab / Red Dunes: Tall, soft crests and consistent gradients—ideal for repeat runs and dramatic photos.
  • Al Qudra: Closer to the city with gentler lines—great for families and first-timers.
    Additionally, we match dune height and slope angle to your confidence level.

When to go (timing matters)

  • Morning (cool & crisp): Quieter slopes and softer temperatures, especially useful in summer.
  • Sunset (golden glow): Epic light for portraits and reels; therefore the most popular choice.
  • October–April: Peak comfort; however, summer mornings also work well if you start early.

How a typical sand surfing session flows

  1. Hotel pick-up in an air-conditioned 4×4 (shared or private).
  2. Gear fitting & briefing—stance, balance, braking, and lane safety.
  3. Practice laps on a mellow slope; then step up to longer lines.
  4. Photo break at the ridge; your guide sets angles and spacing.
  5. Optional add-ons: short camel loop, quad/buggy time, or dune bashing.
  6. Drop-off back to your hotel—or continue to an evening camp for dinner and shows.

Safety, comfort & what to wear

Wear breathable layers and closed shoes (no sandals on the slope). Furthermore, bring sunglasses, SPF 30+, and a light scarf for breeze and glare. Helmets and goggles are available on request. If you’re pregnant or managing back/neck concerns, choose gentler gradients and skip high speeds.
