You can have fun with the entire family when you engage in any of Dubai’s outdoor adventures. You can spend the night on the dunes and stargaze. The kids could also enjoy the sandboarding and quad biking. You may also ask them to be completely immersed in Bedouin life as part of today’s Dubai lifestyle. You get to ride camels and witness the flight of falcons while finding your very own constellation. You can pick from the packages offered by Platinum Heritage an ecotourism desert safari company that offers the aforementioned activities. The entire family may also head towards the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, the largest unfenced nature reserve where you could find wild cats, sand gazelles, and Arabian oryx.
Hiking
You can hike and go mountain biking on the trails of Hatta. Hatta is 130 kilometers southeast of Central Dubai right at the foothills of the Hajar Mountain. Be mesmerized by the Hatta Dam and its surrounding mountain view. You may opt for the slow hike or indulge in adrenaline rush by mountain biking on the trails. This will take care of your glutes and quads after a hearty Emirati meal. The entire family may also enjoy the picturesque view of the Hatta Dam as you go kayaking around the lake formed by it.
Racing
Witness the modern-day version of camel racing in the Al Marmoom Camel Race Track. It is located next to the Al Marmoom Heritage Village and Al Lisaili. It is Dubai’s largest camel race track. You can pick grandstand seats for the whole family and be ready for a highly exciting spectacle with 60 camels racing towards the finish line. The racing season is from April to October. You can go to the venue earlier and take a picture with the competing camels for a travel souvenir.
Hot-air Balloon Riding
Get a hot-air balloon ride and enjoy a birds-eye-view of the desert dunes from above. It is the closest you can have to a magic carpet ride.

Revel at the awe-inspiring emerald oases from thousands of feet above. This will make you see the city in a different and more interesting perspective.
