If you want something a bit more relaxed where your internal body parts aren’t mixed up together (as a result of dune bashing ofc), hop on a camel for a slow walk. Be advised, these ships of the desert can get very grumpy! A camel trek could be arranged by the hotel you’re staying at such as Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara. 🐪
