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

Wiki Article

Nearly everyone who visit Dubai arrive for the malls and the tall buildings. But ask them a year later what they remember most, and plenty will say it was the desert. 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, watch the sun go down and end 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. This guide covers how the trip works, which package to pick, how much you'll pay 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. After you leave the city, the driver lets some air out of the tyres and the real ride starts. 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 doesn't last long, but it's the part most guests talk about afterwards.

After that, you stop on a high dune for sunset photos. As read more the sun drops, the sand changes colour and everything goes quiet. It's a good moment to put the phone down for a minute too.

From there, you head to the camp. You can try a short camel ride and a go at sandboarding down the dunes. Ladies and kids can get henna designs on their hands, and water and soft drinks are unlimited. After sunset, dinner is served, and then come the shows: a tanoura dancer in a bright spinning skirt, a fire show and a belly dancer. After the last show, you're dropped back at your hotel.

Which Package Should You Choose?

No one package is right for everyone. It depends on your budget, who you're travelling with and how much adventure you want.

The Evening Desert Safari Dubai

This is the one most people book, and it's easy to see why. You get 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. Prices for our standard Arabian desert safari start at AED 100 per person. If it's your first time in the desert, start here.

The VIP Desert Safari Dubai

It's the same evening, just more comfortable. A Land Cruiser picks you up, and at the camp you get a VIP sofa area and a better buffet. Our VIP desert safari Dubai starts at 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

Some guests already have plans at night. 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. It skips the dinner and shows, but the soft morning light makes for great photos. Prices start at AED 120 per person.

Desert Safari Dubai with Quad Bike

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. Safety gear is included and our team guides you the whole time. 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 in front and stops on the high dunes for photos. Plan for about four hours in total, with prices from AED 200 per person. Transfers are not included, so tell us if you need them.

A Few copyright About Dune Bashing Dubai

Dune bashing Dubai trips feel wild, but our drivers know the dunes well. You'll bounce around, so keep your seatbelt on the whole time. Eat light before the trip, and sit in the front if you tend to feel car sick.

If you're pregnant, have back or neck problems or are travelling with a baby, tell us when you book. You can skip the dune bashing and still enjoy everything at the camp.

What to Wear and Bring

• Light, loose clothes

• Closed shoes or sandals you don't mind getting sandy

• Sunscreen and a good pair of sunglasses

• A jacket in winter, because nights in the desert can feel chilly

• Your phone, fully charged, for all the photos

The Best Season to Visit the Desert

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, just pick the evening trip, because the heat drops once the sun goes down. Weekends and holidays fill up fast, so book a couple of days ahead.
