Sandboarding involves riding a board down a sand dune. It offers a different way to experience the desert, combining the excitement of a descent with the views from the dunes.
You do not need to aim for the highest slope. If you are new to the activity, tell us when you inquire so we can discuss a suitable arrangement for your experience and comfort level.
Remember that walking back uphill through soft sand can be tiring. Allow time for breaks and enjoy the experience at your own pace.

At the dunes, take time to get familiar with the board and follow the instructions provided for its use. The suitable slope and riding position depend on the equipment, conditions and your experience.
Between descents, you can rest, enjoy the scenery and take photographs. Sand conditions can affect how the board moves, so every session may feel a little different.
