01 — The experience
4-Seater / Sandman Treasure Hunt / 2 Hours
It all begins when you arrive at the Big Red Adventure base. With the help of our experienced guide, a compass and a piece of your map, you will navigate the unspoiled Margham desert in search of your first clue. The Tower Ruins: When you have found the Tower Ruins you will need to decipher the map with the help of your compass to discover your next clue hidden close by. Remember, the Sandman will not have made this easy. You may find the puzzle box, but can you open it? If you manage to outsmart the Sandman, you will be one step closer to the loot. Once you and your team solve the puzzle, you’ll be able to continue the search of the next clue found close to the Lost Head of Buddha. The Lost Head of Buddha: It is believed that the Sandman buried the next clue here so that through the eyes of Buddha he could keep watch of all the ambitious thieves trying to get their hands on his hidden fortune. With some careful exploration you will discover the “piece” that will take you one step closer to getting your hands on it. The 3 Trees: 3 Trees is where you need to be! You know you are close when you discover the bones of the dead. And if you’re brave enough to follow the clues and dig around the dead, the loot is yours! But be warned of the Sandman’s curse. Legend has it that if you fill your pockets with the jewels your fate will be the same as so many before you… Do not be greedy, only take the gold!

05 — FAQ

Know before you book

What safety equipment is provided?

We provide all gear you need: helmet, gloves, and 4-point safety harnesses installed on every machine. All our staff are trained First Aiders. A full first-aid kit travels with the tour guide, and a Landcruiser provides recovery support throughout the entire tour. Every tour starts with a safety and operation briefing.

What should I wear and what is included?

We advise casual sportswear for buggy tours. We provide helmet and gloves. Refreshments - water and soft drinks - are included on every tour.

Are there age or health restrictions?

Minimum age to self-drive a buggy is 16 years. No driving license is required for any of our tours. To ride as a passenger, the minimum age is 5 years. We cannot accommodate pregnant women on any tours due to the terrain.

What will I see and experience?

You will rip through massive golden sand dunes across an endlessly magnificent landscape. The tour is well-paced for your driving ability, with power on demand in our meticulously maintained vehicles. You will visit the most iconic Arabian desert landmarks: Big Red dune, Pink Rock, the Valley of a Thousand Dunes, and the majestic Lost Trees Oasis. Selfies with free-roaming camels are common on morning sessions (we cannot guarantee, but they often appear).

What is the refund and cancellation policy?

You may request to cancel your booking for a full refund up to 48 hours before the date and time of the tour. Cancellations made between 24 and 48 hours before the tour are eligible for a 50% refund. Cancellations less than 24 hours before the tour are non-refundable. All cancellations must be made directly with Big Red Adventure Tours, and a booking is only officially cancelled once you have received confirmation from info@bigreddxb.com. Approved refunds are processed within 14 working days to the original payment method; your bank may take an additional 7-10 business days to reflect the balance.
