Dubai Desert Safari Experience

Our Dubai desert safari is an afternoon and evening in the red dunes outside the city: 4x4 dune bashing, a sunset photo stop, a Bedouin-style camp with a camel ride, henna and falcons, a BBQ buffet dinner under the stars and a live Tanoura and belly dance show. Add a quad bike ride for extra adrenaline.

At around 3:00 PM your driver picks you up from your Dubai hotel in a 4x4 and heads into the desert, where the sand turns a deeper red. Before the dunes the tyre pressure is adjusted, then the dune bashing begins — a thrilling ride up and down the dunes, with a stop to watch and photograph the sunset.

Next you arrive at a Bedouin-style camp decorated with traditional rugs. Ride a camel, dress in traditional clothing, taste freshly made Arabic sweets, get a henna design, meet the falcons and relax with shisha in the designated area.

As night falls, enjoy an open-air BBQ buffet dinner with grilled meats, salads, appetizers and desserts. The evening ends with a live show: the spinning Tanoura dance followed by belly dancing to Arabic music, before the drive back to your hotel.

On the shared safari your driver is also your guide and speaks English. Prefer your own car? Book a private 4x4 for up to 6 guests. Capture the evening with a private desert safari photographer, or combine the safari with a city tour in one of our UAE packages.

Choose the shared safari for a per-person booking, or request the private 4x4 for a vehicle reserved for 1 to 6 guests. The private vehicle rate is not a per-person rate. A private vehicle does not by itself promise an exclusive camp; confirm the camp arrangements and activities for your date before booking.

Is quad biking included?
No. The quad bike is a separate add-on, priced per bike for the listed ride length. Tell us how many bikes you want; participation conditions and availability need confirmation.

Do infants travel free on the shared safari?
No. This product has its own child policy: infants under 2 and children aged 2–5 pay 70% of the adult shared-safari rate. Do not apply the standard child policy from a city tour to this safari.

Is the pickup time exact?
The published 3:00 PM pickup and 6-hour duration are approximate. Share your hotel and date so your pickup arrangements can be confirmed. Sunset, camp activities and the show programme depend on the conditions and arrangements for that date.
