Quest for the Ancient Kingdoms is a 90 minute immersive treasure hunt adventure experience, taking guests on a special journey through Wadi AlNaam (Valley of the Ostriches) - a spectacular once-hunting gorge of the ancient people of Dadan. Choose between the 'Challenge Edition' for adult adventurers, which is a more challenging experience traversing the gorge, light hiking and dune buggy rides, or the 'Family Explorers', a fun and friendly family memory making day with ‘edutainment’ and exploratory activities. Each experience is designed to spark imagination, encourage a sense of discovery and create lasting memories.
