Sand Skiing Dubai: Glide the Red Dunes with Forever Tourism

Looking for a new kind of desert thrill that’s both Instagram-worthy and beginner-friendly?

Sand skiing in Dubai swaps icy slopes for the golden dunes of the Arabian Desert — giving you all the fun of carving and gliding, but in the sun-kissed warmth of the UAE. With Forever Tourism, you’ll get expert guidance, quality gear, and the perfect light for photos — whether you prefer sunrise serenity or sunset glow.


What Is Sand Skiing Dubai?



Sand skiing lets you carve down Dubai’s soft dunes using two short skis instead of a single sandboard. The feeling is smooth, stable, and surprisingly easy to learn — even for total beginners.

How it compares to sandboarding:

  • Stance & balance: Skiers use two skis and optional poles for added control, while sandboarders ride one board.
  • Learning curve: Most first-timers master turns within minutes; you can even start with seated sled laps for confidence.
  • Speed & control: Waxed ski bases keep slides smooth but manageable. Dragging a pole or your hand helps steer and brake safely.


Best Locations for Sand Skiing in Dubai


Lahbab (Red Dunes)

Tall, silky dunes with perfect gradients for repeat runs and stunning photos. This is the most popular spot for thrill-seekers and photographers alike.

Al Qudra

A family-friendly choice closer to the city, offering smaller dunes ideal for first-timers and kids.

Best time to go:

  • October to April: Cool, breezy, and perfect for outdoor adventure.
  • Summer months: Choose early-morning or sunset sessions to stay comfortable while catching golden-hour views.


How a Sand Skiing Dubai Experience Flows



  1. Pick-up: Air-conditioned 4×4 transfer from your hotel (shared or private).
  2. Briefing & gear fitting: Learn basic stance, turning, and safety tips.
  3. Practice runs: Start small, then graduate to longer slopes.
  4. Photo stop: Capture your desert adventure at the ridge with your guide’s help.
  5. Add-ons: Camel ride, quad biking, dune bashing, or even an evening BBQ camp.
  6. Return transfer: Back to your hotel — or continue to your desert dinner experience.


Quick Technique Tips


  • Athletic stance: Keep knees soft and hips centered.
  • Gentle edges: Shift weight gradually to turn; avoid digging tips.
  • Speed control: Use poles or hands lightly to slow down.
  • Finish safely: Stay upright or seated until fully stopped — guides manage slope safety.

Pro tip: Forever Tourism uses waxed ski bases for smoother slides and consistent control.


Safety & Comfort Essentials


  • Helmets and goggles available on request.
  • Closed shoes are required — no sandals!
  • Bring sunglasses, sunscreen (SPF 30+), and a light scarf for comfort.
  • If pregnant or with back/neck issues, choose gentler dunes and skip high-speed runs.


Add More Adventure to Your Day



  • Dune bashing: 4×4 roller-coaster ride across red desert ridges.
  • Quad bikes / dune buggies: 30–60 min guided rides, solo or tandem.
  • Camel ride: Short loop for classic desert vibes and photo ops.
  • BBQ dinner camp: Evening upgrade with Arabic coffee, dates, soft drinks, live shows, and buffet dinner.


Pricing Factors


Your total cost depends on:

  • Timing: Morning = best value; evening = premium with BBQ add-ons.
  • Transport: Shared 4×4 is budget-friendly; private SUV adds comfort.
  • Extras: Add-ons like quads or dinner shows increase the total — choose what you’ll actually enjoy.
