Overview

This desert safari in Dubai lasts between 4 and 7 hours, offering a mix of desert activities and cultural experiences. The tour begins with hotel pickup by a shared 4x4 vehicle, followed by a 45-minute drive to the red dunes area. Upon arrival, guests may take a short quad bike ride before the main off-road dune bashing session lasting about 30 to 45 minutes. After dune bashing, sandboarding is available on the dunes, and a camel ride takes place in the open desert. Soft drinks, water, Arabic tea or coffee, and dates are provided during the break. For guests selecting the 7-hour option, the tour continues with a visit to Al Khayma Desert Camp. At the camp, participants receive a welcome with rose water, Arabic coffee (Gahwa), local sweets (Gaymat), and dates. The camp features activities including camel feeding, falconry displays, henna painting, and shisha smoking. Entertainment includes a Mega Fire show, an Arabian horse show, and a traditional Yola dance, but only during evening time slots of the 7-hour tour. A BBQ dinner with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes is served before the return drive to the hotel. Throughout the tour, an English-speaking licensed driver leads the group. Pickup and drop-off are included from your hotel or a selected location in Dubai. Note that alcoholic drinks and personal expenses are not covered. Various safety measures and age restrictions apply for quad biking, camel rides, and dune bashing to ensure participant safety.
