Overview

The Dubai Desert Safari lasts about six to seven hours and starts with hotel pickup in an air-conditioned 4x4 Land Cruiser. The drive from Dubai city to the desert takes around 45 to 60 minutes, passing the city’s skyline and landmarks before reaching the desert dunes. Upon arrival at the first desert stop, guests can freshen up and use washrooms. Optional activities such as quad biking or dune buggy rides are available for an extra charge, with options for 30-minute or one-hour rides. The main activity is dune bashing, where an experienced driver takes guests over sand dunes in a Land Cruiser. After dune bashing, sandboarding is offered to those who want to try it. Next, guests take a short camel ride across the desert sands. The safari then continues to a Bedouin-style desert camp where fresh dates, Arabic coffee, and soft drinks are served. A buffet dinner with BBQ is included, offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options such as grilled meats, salads, rice, breads, and desserts. Evening entertainment at the camp features live Tanoura dance, belly dancing, and a fire show. Additional activities at the camp include henna painting for women, shisha in a designated smoking area, and traditional Arabic costume photography for personal photos. After the dinner and entertainment, transportation returns guests to their Dubai hotel. Alcoholic beverages, souvenir photos, and some activities like falcon photography or shisha served at the table are available for an extra charge. Children must be accompanied by a guardian, and certain activities like dune bashing are not recommended for pregnant women, infants under three, or guests with health issues.
