We had a blast... we didn't prebook anything, but we were wery lucky as it was very quiet...exactly as we wished for... empty dunes, noone else around ( highly recommned during the week, lunch time, but get ready for the heat 😅) Guys were super nice, offered amazing deal. Overall fantastic experience
Tomas Grega5 months agoGreat off-road experience, powerful vehicles, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!
Dune Quested8 months agoAmazing experience! The quad biking was so much fun and super well organized. The guides were friendly and made everything feel safe and easy. The desert views were unreal. Definitely a must do in Dubai!
Sophia Rosocha6 months agoWhat happens on a Dubai desert safari
A standard safari begins with hotel pickup or a meeting point, then a 4x4 drive out to the red dunes for dune bashing — a guided run over the sand in a tuned Land Cruiser. From there you reach the desert camp, where the usual line-up is camel riding, sandboarding, henna, traditional dress photos and Arabic coffee, followed by a buffet dinner and live entertainment. Evening trips add a sunset photo stop; morning trips swap dinner for cooler air and sunrise light. Exact inclusions vary by package, so check the list on each card above.
Morning, evening or private group: which to choose
Evening safari is the classic first-timer choice — sunset, dinner and the full camp programme in one trip, usually four to six hours. Morning safari is shorter and cooler, better if you have a packed itinerary or are travelling with young children, and it skips the dinner and show. Private and group packages give you your own vehicle and a schedule you control, which works well for families, corporate groups and anyone who would rather not share a 4x4 with strangers.
Adding buggies, quads or dirt bikes
Self-drive machines are booked separately from the safari packages but can run on the same day at the same desert location. A common combination is a 30-minute dune buggy or quad session followed by an evening safari, so you get the driving experience and the camp programme without two separate trips out to the desert. Tell the team what you want when booking so the timings line up.
What to wear and bring
Light, loose clothing and closed shoes work best — sand gets everywhere, and sandals are awkward for sandboarding and camel riding. Bring sunglasses and sunscreen for daytime trips, and a light jacket for evening ones, because the desert cools sharply after sunset. If you get motion sick, mention it before the dune bashing run and sit in the front. Anyone pregnant, or with back, neck or heart conditions, should skip dune bashing and let the team know in advance so an alternative can be arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a desert safari cost in Dubai?
Desert safari packages start from AED 99 per person, depending on the package, group size and inclusions. Morning safaris are generally the most affordable, while premium and private packages with dinner and extra activities cost more. Current starting prices for each package are listed above.
Which desert safari is best for first-time visitors?
The standard or evening safari is usually the easiest first choice because it combines dune bashing, camel riding, sandboarding, and camp activities.
Is a desert safari safe for children and older guests?
Yes, and packages can be adjusted. Dune bashing is not recommended during pregnancy or for guests with back, neck or heart conditions, but a gentler route or a camp-only arrangement can usually be organised. Share any health limitations before your booking is confirmed.
Can I book a private group safari?
Yes. Group safari packages are available for families, teams, and private groups.
How long does a desert safari take?
An evening desert safari typically runs four to six hours including transfers, dune bashing, camp activities and dinner. Morning safaris are shorter, usually three to four hours. Exact timings depend on your package, pickup location and the season.
What should I wear for a desert safari in Dubai?
Wear light, comfortable clothing and closed shoes. Bring sunglasses and sunscreen for daytime trips and a light jacket for evening trips, since the desert cools quickly after sunset.
Does the desert safari include hotel pickup?
Pickup availability depends on the package, group size and your location in Dubai or Sharjah. Share your hotel or meeting point when booking so the team can confirm timings and any transfer cost.
Can I add buggy or quad biking?
Yes. Dune buggy and quad bike rides can be booked as separate activities or discussed as add-ons with the team.
