We’re planning a desert safari in Dubai next month and excited about the whole experience — especially the dune bashing! 😍
However, we’ll be traveling with our two kids (aged 6 and 9) and my father who is 65 and has mild back pain. I’ve read that dune bashing can be a bit rough.

Has anyone here done dune bashing with kids or senior family members?
Is it safe or should we skip it?

Are there milder options available?

Do tour companies allow you to opt out of dune bashing and still enjoy the rest of the safari?

I came across this operator https://roaradventuretourism.com/desert-safari-dubai/ who offers customizable packages. They seem to offer family-friendly safaris, but I’d love to hear from someone with first-hand experience.

Any tips or suggestions would be really appreciated – want to make sure it’s fun and safe for everyone in the family.
