Overview

This day is all about the Journey, not the destination!

As enthusiastic explorers passionate about the nature and history of the UAE, we bring you along on a surprisingly accessible, yet off the beaten track Journey.

You will drive across 5 different Emirates and 5 distinct landscapes and explore the lesser known but stunning interior regions of the UAE, along with deserts, geological wonders, vast alluvial plains, and winding mountain wadi's.

Kids will be engaged with a fun and engaging and educational Journey quiz!

Explore those places only a few have been to from the comfort and safety of your own car.

During the rides, we drive ahead of you and communicate by walkie-talkies.

We make many wonderful stops during our full day Journey that flows like a story, an expedition that would even entice the old explorers and will give you memories for years to come!
