FAQs
A: A desert safari in Dubai is an excursion into the Arabian Desert that lets you experience the region’s stunning sand dunes and rich Bedouin heritage. You typically ride in a 4×4 vehicle for thrilling dune bashing on the sand hills, then visit a desert camp where you enjoy traditional Emirati hospitality – including cultural activities, entertainment, and dining under the stars. It’s one of Dubai’s most popular adventures, offering a mix of adrenaline and cultural immersion.
A: Most Dubai desert safari packages offer a mix of exciting adventure and cultural activities. Highlights usually include:
- Dune bashing: an exhilarating 4×4 drive over sand dunes with expert drivers.
- Camel rides: a short trek on a camel’s back to experience travel like a Bedouin.
- Sandboarding: surfing down the dunes on a sand board (like snowboarding on sand).
- Desert camp experiences: henna painting, trying traditional Arabian costumes, shisha (hookah) smoking, and falconry for photos.
- Live cultural shows: e.g. belly dancing and Tanoura dance performances in the evening.
- BBQ buffet dinner: a delicious spread of Middle Eastern dishes under the open sky (included in evening and overnight safaris).
Some tours also offer optional add-ons like quad biking or dune buggy rides for extra thrill. These activities let you enjoy both the adventure and the culture of the desert in one memorable trip.
A: It depends on the type of safari. Morning desert safaris last about 3–4 hours, usually starting early and finishing by midday. Evening desert safaris run around 6–7 hours (typically mid-afternoon until around 9 PM). Overnight desert safaris are the longest – roughly 15–16 hours – as they include an evening program plus camping at night and sunrise experience.
A: The price of a desert safari in Dubai can vary widely based on the package and inclusions. Standard group safaris start at roughly AED 85 per person for an evening tour with basic activities. Higher-end experiences, like private or luxury desert safaris, can range from around AED 600 up to AED 1,500 (or more) per person for the added exclusivity and premium services. There are also budget options and seasonal deals, so it’s wise to compare packages to find one that fits your budget.
A: Desert safaris operate all year, but the best time to enjoy one is during the cooler months. The winter period from November to March offers the most pleasant weather, with mild daytime temperatures and cooler. During these months, you can enjoy all outdoor desert activities comfortably. In the summer (roughly May to August), tours still run, but the desert heat during the day can be extreme – if you visit in hot months, an evening or overnight safari (when temperatures drop) is more comfortable.
A: It depends on your preferences. A morning desert safari is ideal if you enjoy cooler mornings, smaller crowds, and an early start. Morning tours offer beautiful sunrise views and thrilling dune drives, then wrap up by around noon (no dinner or night shows in this tour). In contrast, an evening desert safari offers a more extensive experience – you’ll get a scenic sunset over the dunes, followed by a lively camp atmosphere with a BBQ dinner and live cultural performances under the stars. If you want a peaceful, short adventure, choose morning; for a full desert experience with dinner and shows, the evening safari is better.
A: An overnight desert safari is an extended version of the standard safari where you camp overnight in the desert for a fully immersive experience. It typically starts as an evening safari: you’ll enjoy dune bashing, sunset views, camel rides, dinner, and live entertainment at the desert camp. Instead of returning that night, you stay in a Bedouin-style camp accommodation (often tents or sleeping bags under the stars). Guests can relax by a bonfire, do stargazing in the quiet desert night, and then wake up to watch a peaceful desert sunrise, followed by breakfast in the morning. It’s a great choice for those who want to experience the desert at night and early dawn.
A: A private desert safari is a safari tour booked exclusively for your group – no strangers will join you. You get your own 4×4 vehicle with a dedicated driver/guide, allowing you to customize the experience to some extent. This means you can often set the pace (e.g. spend more time sandboarding or skip an activity you’re not interested in) and enjoy the desert at your leisure. Private safaris offer more privacy, comfort, and flexibility – they’re ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends who want a personalized experience. (Do note the cost is higher per vehicle, but for larger families or groups it can be a great value.)
A: A luxury desert safari is a premium safari package that offers an upscale experience beyond the standard tour. In a luxury safari, you can expect top-notch service and amenities: for example, transport in high-end vehicles (sometimes classic vintage Land Rovers or luxurious 4x4s), access to exclusive desert camps, gourmet food and drinks, and often more secluded locations in the desert. These packages provide VIP treatment – complete privacy, enhanced comfort, and personalized attention from the moment you’re picked up to drop-off. Inclusions might feature extras like wildlife drives in a desert reserve, fine dining under the stars, or extended time for activities. It’s perfect for travelers seeking a bespoke, high-comfort adventure in the desert.
A: A dune buggy safari is an adventure where you get to drive your own off-road buggy through the desert dunes. Instead of riding as a passenger in a 4×4, you’ll take the wheel of a robust, two-seater dune buggy (with automatic gears) and follow a guide along scenic desert trails. It’s a fully guided experience – an instructor leads the way and provides safety briefings – so even first-timers can enjoy it.
You’ll zoom up and down dunes on an adrenaline-pumping ride, which typically lasts about an hour, allowing you to personally conquer the sands for a unique thrill. All safety gear (helmets, goggles) is provided, and a support team is nearby, making it an exciting yet safe option for adventure-seekers.
A: Wear light, comfortable clothing that’s suitable for a warm desert climate. There’s no strict dress code, but it’s advisable to choose loose-fitting garments (cotton shirts, t-shirts, shorts or lightweight pants) that keep you cool. For footwear, opt for sandals or sneakers rather than formal shoes – you’ll be walking on sand, and you’ll want something you don’t mind getting sandy.
Don’t forget sun protection: bring a hat, sunglasses, and apply sunscreen to shield against the sun during the day. If you’re going on an evening or overnight safari, pack a light jacket or shawl as well, because the temperature can drop and it gets breezy after sunset in the desert.
A: Yes, desert safaris in Dubai are generally safe if you go with a licensed operator – they use experienced drivers and follow safety protocols. All the dune bashing is done in 4×4 vehicles equipped with seatbelts and roll cages, and drivers are trained for off-road desert terrain. That said, the dune drive can be bumpy, so we do not recommend it for pregnant women or for people with serious back or heart conditions to be on the safe side.
Very young children (typically below 3 years old) should not participate in the rough dune-bashing portion either, as the terrain can be too harsh for toddlers. Children above that age can usually join – most tour companies allow kids around 5 years and up for dune bashing, and require those under 12 to be accompanied by an adult for all rides.
If you have any concerns, you can request to skip the dune bashing (many operators can take you directly to the camp while others do the dune driving). There are plenty of camp activities like camel rides, falconry, and entertainment that everyone can enjoy safely even if they sit out the 4×4 part.
A: It depends on the type of safari. Evening desert safaris almost always include a dinner – typically a delicious BBQ buffet at the desert camp – and overnight safaris include dinner plus breakfast the next morning. Morning safaris, however, generally do not include a meal (some may offer light refreshments). Regardless of the tour, water and soft drinks are usually provided for free at the camp to keep you hydrated.
Alcoholic beverages are not included in most standard packages, but some tours offer alcohol for purchase on-site or have special packages that include unlimited drinks for an extra charge (if you’d like a beer or wine with dinner, bring some cash or inquire about upgrade options).
A: Yes. Almost all desert safari tours in Dubai include round-trip transportation as part of the package. Tour operators will pick you up from your hotel or a designated meeting point in the city and drive you out to the desert in a 4×4 vehicle, then drop you back after the safari. Standard packages use shared vehicles (you and other guests ride together in a Land Cruiser or similar).
If you prefer a more exclusive ride, we offer an option for private transfers at an extra cost, meaning you and your group have a vehicle to yourselves. The drive to the desert typically takes 45–60 minutes from central Dubai, and having it included makes the experience convenient and hassle-free for travelers.
