Looking for the ultimate desert team building experience in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or any other Emirate? At Rush-A-Way, we specialize in turning the UAE’s stunning desert landscapes into exciting arenas for team connection, collaboration, and adventure. Whether you’re planning an off-site for your corporate team or want to host a memorable leadership retreat, our desert-themed team-building activities promise high engagement and unforgettable memories.
Here are three of our top outdoor team-building activities designed especially for the desert:
Desert Survivors
Desert Survivors is a puzzle-based team challenge that brings a desert twist to our popular “Escape the Box” format. Set against the stunning backdrop of Dubai or Abu Dhabi’s dunes, this mentally engaging activity immerses teams in a survival-style storyline where every puzzle, prop, and challenge is designed with a desert theme.
Participants must collaborate, communicate, and think critically to work through a sequence of puzzles, earning their way to escape. What sets this activity apart is the environment itself—solving clues in the desert adds a whole new layer of immersion and excitement.
Perfect for teams looking for a mentally stimulating outdoor team building experience with a strong focus on problem-solving and teamwork.
Rush-A-Way Challenge (Desert Edition)
For teams eager to get active, the Rush-A-Way Challenge brings energy, excitement, and friendly competition to your desert team-building experience. Designed to combine physical movement with teamwork and strategy, this activity keeps everyone engaged from start to finish.
Teams take on a series of dynamic stations featuring everything from coordination-based challenges to memory games and sand-based races. Each task is built to encourage collaboration, communication, and a bit of healthy competition. Guided by our interactive app, teams earn points and race against the clock—and each other—to climb the leaderboard.
This challenge is perfect for companies looking for high-impact, outdoor team building in the UAE’s unique desert landscape.
Pace Race
Pace Race is a fast-paced and fun-filled relay-style team-building activity where every team member plays a role in reaching the finish line. Teams must complete a sequence of mini-challenges, accumulating points toward a target score together.
Each member takes turns attempting a challenge, earning points for the team before passing the baton to the next player. The relay-style setup encourages participation from everyone, reinforcing trust, accountability, and group rhythm. Guided by our challenge app, teams move through each activity, track scores, and race to the top of the leaderboard.
Pace Race is a fantastic choice for outdoor team building in the desert, where energy, coordination, and quick thinking take center stage.
