Which Dubai Desert Safari Should You Choose?
The classic Evening Desert Safari Dubai is the most popular choice: you are collected from your hotel in the afternoon, enjoy dune bashing on the red dunes as the sun sets, then spend the evening at a Bedouin-style camp with a camel ride, henna, belly dance, Tanoura and fire shows and a live BBQ dinner – all from just AED 79. Upgrade to VIP Service for reserved seating and table service, or add a quad bike or dune buggy ride to the same evening.
Early risers love the Morning Desert Safari, which catches the sunrise over cool sand and has you back at the hotel by lunch. Families and couples who want more comfort choose the VIP Desert Safari Dubai with a private 4x4, majlis seating and a served dinner, while groups of up to six can book a fully Private Desert Safari on their own schedule. For the ultimate experience, Overnight Desert Camping Dubai lets you sleep under the stars and wake up to a desert sunrise.
What Happens on a Desert Safari in Dubai?
Every safari starts with free hotel pickup in a licensed Toyota Land Cruiser driven by a trained safari driver. After a short drive to the Lahbab / Al Badayer red dunes, the driver lowers the tyre pressure and takes you on a 30 to 45 minute dune bashing ride – a roller-coaster style drive over the dunes. You can add a quad bike or dune buggy ride on arrival, try sandboarding, and stop for sunset photos before heading to camp.
All of our desert safari tours are operated by a DTCM licensed tour operator, with insured vehicles, seat belts, roll cages and first aid on board. Prices are shown clearly on this page, with no hidden fees at the camp.
