Desert Safari Dubai: A Simple Guide to Packages, Prices and What to Expect

Wiki Article

Most people who visit Dubai arrive for the malls and the tall buildings. But ask them later what the best part of the trip was, and many will tell you it was the day they went out into the dunes. A desert safari Dubai is easy to book, doesn't cost much and suits almost every age. You spend a few hours on the sand, ride over red dunes, catch the sunset and finish the night with dinner and shows at a desert camp.

At Arabian Adventure Tour, we plan desert trips for families, couples, friends and big groups. Below you'll find how the trip works, which package to pick, what it costs and some simple tips from our team.

A Typical Arabian Desert Safari, Step by Step

It all starts with a pickup from your hotel or home in a 4x4. Once the city is behind you, the driver lowers the tyre pressure and the fun begins. This is what people call dune bashing. The 4x4 goes up, over and down the dunes at angles that make everyone laugh or scream. It's short, but it's the bit most people talk about on the way home.

After that, you stop on a high dune for sunset photos. The sand turns orange, then red, and the whole place goes quiet. It's a good moment to put the phone down for a minute too.

Then you drive to the camp. There's time for a short camel ride and some sandboarding down the dunes. Ladies and kids can have their hands painted with henna, and water and soft drinks are unlimited. After sunset, dinner is served, followed by the shows: a tanoura dancer in a bright spinning skirt, a fire show and a belly dancer. When the shows end, we drive you back to your hotel.

Picking the Right Safari Package

There's no single best safari. It depends on how much you want to spend, who's coming with you and how much adventure you are after.

The Evening Desert Safari Dubai

Most of our guests go for this one, and for good reason. It includes dune bashing, a sunset stop, a camel ride, sandboarding, henna and live shows, so it's a proper desert safari with BBQ dinner and a fun night at the camp. Our standard Arabian desert safari starts from AED 100 per person. If it's your first time in the desert, start here.

VIP Desert Safari Dubai

It's the same evening, just more comfortable. You're picked up in a Land Cruiser, and at the camp you get a VIP sofa area and a better buffet. The VIP desert safari Dubai starts from AED 130 per person, so the extra cost is small. It's a nice choice for couples, birthdays and anyone who wants a calmer evening.

The Morning Desert Safari Dubai

Not everyone has a free evening. The morning desert safari Dubai lasts around four hours and includes hotel pickup, dune bashing in a Land Cruiser, a camel ride, sandboarding and photo stops on the high dunes. There's no dinner or show, but the morning light is great for photos. Prices start at AED 120 per person.

Quad Biking on Your Safari

Want to take the wheel yourself? Go for the desert safari Dubai with quad bike. You ride your own ATV on the sand, then enjoy the rest of the evening trip: dune bashing, a camel ride, shows and dinner. We give you safety gear and our team stays with you while you ride. This package starts from AED 200 per person.

Dune Buggy Dubai

If you love speed, a dune buggy Dubai ride is hard to beat. You drive the buggy yourself, after a short safety briefing, with a guide leading the way and stops on the high dunes for photos. Plan for about four hours in total, with prices from AED 200 per person. Pickup and drop-off cost extra, so mention it when you book.

A Private Car Just for You

Don't want to share a car with strangers? A private desert safari Dubai gives you your own Land Cruiser and driver for up to five people, private dune bashing, a VIP area at the camp, a premium BBQ dinner and hotel pickup and drop. The price is AED 500 per car, which works out well for a family of four or five.

Coming with a big group? We handle groups from 10 to more than 500 guests, with one coordinator as your single point of contact. Just ask us for a quote.

Is Dune Bashing Safe?

Dune bashing Dubai trips feel wild, but our drivers know the dunes well. You'll bounce around, so keep your seatbelt on and hold the handle. Have a light lunch before you go, and sit in the front if you tend to feel car sick.

Pregnant guests, people with back or neck problems and parents with babies should let us know when booking. You can skip the dune bashing and still enjoy everything at the camp.

What to Wear and Bring

• Loose cotton clothes that keep you cool

• Shoes you don't Dune Bashing Dubai mind filling with sand

• Sunglasses and sunscreen

• A light jacket from December to February, as desert nights get cool

• Your phone, fully charged, for all the photos

Best Time for a Desert Safari

October to April is the best time to go. The days are warm and the evenings feel fresh, perfect for sitting out at the camp. You can still go in summer, but the evening trip is the better choice then, as the heat drops after sunset. Weekends and holidays fill up fast, so book a couple of days ahead.
