We had an amazing desert safari experience with Desert Leap Safari yesterday. From the beginning, the company was honest, transparent and professional, with some of the best prices we found in Dubai and absolutely no hidden charges.

A special thank you to our two fantastic tour guides, who were professional, friendly, interactive and very accommodating. They made sure we enjoyed every activity advertised in our package without any additional cost.

The whole experience was well organised, enjoyable and excellent value for money. I would highly recommend Desert Leap Safari to anyone visiting Dubai, especially families looking for a trustworthy company that delivers exactly what it promises.

Thank you for making our desert safari such a memorable experience. We would definitely use you again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent VIP Desert Safari Experience

I had a wonderful experience with Desert Leap Safari Tourism L.L.C. I booked their VIP service, and everything was very well organised.

I thoroughly enjoyed the dune bashing, which was exciting and professionally done, and the food was good as well. The overall experience was enjoyable and definitely one of the highlights of my trip.

A special thanks to my tour guide, Saleem Jon, who made the experience even better. He was very friendly, took some really nice photographs of me, and was also an excellent and professional driver. His driving through the dunes was both exciting and reassuring.

Thank you, Saleem, for making my desert safari so memorable! 🙏✨

Best experience ever, especially with kids. Lots of fun and professional staff
I definitely recommend this tour. We had a guide, Salman, and we arrived where we asked, a little early. We were running late, but they were waiting for us! He was a very good driver and a really fun person. The tour itself was varied, very action-packed, and interesting. We went quad biking through the desert, then on a jeep, followed by an interesting show and a camel ride. It's a great experience to do again and again! Book it, you won't regret it 🙏🏻

I will start by saying that the guide was excellent, Anees, he was a very entertaining guy with a nice vibe.

I had an absolute stunning experience with the Quad and the Safari car flying over the sand dunes.
I recommend this service and hope you get Anees as a guide because he was very kind and helped us negotiate .

10/10 experience!

This is a must-do experience when visiting Dubai.

The tour was packed with activities, including an exciting Land Cruiser desert dune drive, a camel ride, a belly dance performance, and a fire show. It was well organized and offered great value.

Hotel pickup and drop-off made everything very convenient. The large SUV Nissan Patrol was comfortable and powerful, and just riding through Dubai and out into the desert was an enjoyable experience. Even when we encountered a sandstorm, I felt safe.

Communication before the tour was smooth through WhatsApp, making it easy to arrange everything.

During the tour, I met a family from Albania, which became one of the highlights of my trip. It was a great opportunity to meet people from other countries. Whenever I had questions or needed help, the guide was friendly and happy to assist.

I would have given this tour 5 stars.

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that there were quite a few opportunities to purchase upgrades, photos, and other optional extras before and during the activities. I understand that this is part of the business, but at times it felt excessive and could be confusing.

Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai.

Mr. Qamar was great from the very beginning, from our hotel pick-up until the end of the tour. He was friendly, helpful, and made the experience enjoyable, taking care of us. We had a really good time with him as our guide.

However, the safari facilities and activities felt quite overpriced, as different staff members were giving different prices for the same things. It would be much better if the pricing was more transparent and consistent for international travellers.

The buffet food was quite basic, but overall the experience ended well with the shows.

Thank you, Qamar, for making it memorable. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth trying at least once. 🙏🏽⭐️🏜️

Mashaa Allah, alhamdulillah our guide Mr. Qamar was very responsible and dependable guide. It was a full package. Pick up was on time. Camel ride was exciting. The desert safari by the sunset is so surreal, the view is breathtaking...the camp is spaciously comfortable, all the dances were performed, the food is well proportioned and coming home, all of us felt safe and hearts full!
Kudos to the team and our special thank you to Mr Qamar.... Jazakallah Khair, and till we meet again....

An unforgettable experience just outside Dubai!
The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset — truly something you have to see to believe.

A special mention to Qamar, our guide, who is hands down the best dune bashing driver — skilled, fun, and made the whole experience even more exciting and safe.

I highly recommend this activity to everyone — whether you’re with friends, family, or kids. It’s perfectly suitable for all ages and a must-do when in the UAE!

I did the evening safari with Qamar and he was a great host. We started with half an hour on a quad bike which was super fun! Then we did some dune bashing. Qamar is a very skilled driver and he took photos of the different people in our group. We finished at the camp with a tasty buffet dinner and entertainment. It was lovely to get out of Dubai and into the dessert. Highly recommend!

Amazing desert experience We had an amazing time on this desert safari! Our driver, Tufail, was super friendly, funny, and an expert at driving through the dunes. The dune bashing was such a thrill but still felt completely safe. He even stopped at a great spot to see the red dunes, which were absolutely beautiful and perfect for photos. The BBQ dinner later on was delicious, with lots of variety, and the shows in the evening were so much fun! Everything was really well organized. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting! If you can, ask for Tufail — he made the whole experience even better!

Know Before You Go

What Is a Dubai Desert Safari?

A Desert Safari Dubai is a guided 4×4 excursion into the Arabian Desert, usually to the Lahbab Red Dunes about 45 minutes from the city. A typical safari combines dune bashing, camel riding, and sandboarding with a BBQ dinner and live shows at a Bedouin-style desert camp, lasting around six hours in total.

Lahbab's dunes are taller and more richly red than the flatter, paler sand at Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, which is why most desert safari operators — Desert Leap Safari included — run their dune bashing tours out of Lahbab rather than Al Marmoom.

Buyer's Guide

How to Choose the Best Desert Safari in Dubai (2026)

With hundreds of operators offering "desert safari Dubai" tours, prices and quality vary enormously. Here's what actually separates a great desert safari from a disappointing one.

1

DTCM-Licensed Operator

Every legitimate operator holds a Dubai Tourism license — proof your driver is trained and insured for off-road desert driving. Ask for the number before booking.

2

Real Red Dunes, Not Yellow

Budget operators often run tours on flatter, pale yellow dunes closer to the city. The dramatic red-sand terrain you see in photos is in Al Lahbab, ~45 min from Dubai.

3

Vehicle Age & Safety

Look for Land Cruisers under 3–4 years old with visible safety features: roll cages, GPS tracking, recovery equipment, pre-trip inspections.

4

Capped Group Size

Some operators pack 30+ guests per session. A capped group size means shorter waits and a camp that doesn't feel like a factory line.

5

All-Inclusive Pricing

The best safaris quote one upfront price — pickup, activities, dinner, shows. Be cautious of quotes that seem unusually cheap.

6

Reviews Across Platforms

Check Google, TripAdvisor & Viator together. Consistent 4.5★+ across all three, with real guest photos, beats one high rating alone.

Every package includes hotel pickup and drop-off across Dubai in a 4×4 Land Cruiser, dune bashing in the Lahbab Red Dunes, a camel ride, sandboarding, henna painting, Arabic dress photography, unlimited soft drinks and tea, shisha, a BBQ buffet dinner with veg and non-veg options, and live Tanoura, belly dance, and fire shows. Optional add-ons at extra cost include self-drive quad bikes, dune buggy rides, VIP table service, and private vehicles. Morning safaris (4 hours) include the adventure activities without dinner or shows, while overnight safaris add tented camping, stargazing, and a sunrise breakfast.

Evening desert safaris start from AED 90 per person. Premium Red Dunes safaris start from AED 150, VIP packages from AED 250, morning safaris from AED 150, and overnight safaris from AED 350. Private tours are priced per vehicle rather than per person, starting from AED 540.

Yes. Desert Leap Safari is designed for families, first-time visitors, and thrill-seekers alike. Children aged 5 and up can join regular dune bashing, and a gentler soft-drive option is available for younger children — just mention this when booking or on arrival. Free child, booster, and infant seats are fitted on request, so families can still enjoy the camel ride, sandboarding, and evening entertainment even if they choose the calmer transfer option.

Yes, free hotel pickup and drop-off is included across all major Dubai areas, including Marina, JBR, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Deira, Bur Dubai, and more. Pickup from Sharjah and Abu Dhabi is available for a small surcharge.

The Evening Desert Safari is our most popular option, combining dune bashing, sunset photography, sandboarding, a camel ride, and a shared BBQ buffet dinner with live entertainment. The VIP Desert Safari includes everything in the Evening Tour plus private table service, an enhanced dinner menu, and premium seating away from the main camp — the same experience with a more exclusive setting.

Wear light, comfortable clothing suited to warm weather. Closed-toe shoes are recommended if you plan to try sandboarding. On winter evenings, bring a light jacket, as temperatures drop noticeably after sunset.
