Age and activity suitability
Babies and toddlers can usually join as passengers with a parent, but the bumpy drive and late finish can be tiring. Primary-age children often adore the camel ride, sandboarding and costumes. Teenagers tend to love dune bashing and, where eligible, quad bikes or buggies.
Keeping children comfortable
- Dress them in layers and closed shoes
- Bring snacks, water and wet wipes
- Pack a small toy or tablet for the drive
Fire show and camp safety
Keep children seated and close during the fire performance. Watch for hot grills and uneven sand around the camp. Agree on a meeting spot in case someone wanders.
