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

Wiki Article

Nearly everyone who visit Dubai come for the malls and the tall buildings. But ask them later what the best part of the trip was, and a good number will say it was the desert. A desert safari Dubai doesn't need much planning, it's kind to your budget and it works for almost everyone. You spend a few hours on the sand, drive across red dunes, watch the sun go down and end the night with dinner and shows at a desert camp.

Here at Arabian Adventure Tour, we plan desert trips for families, couples, friends and big groups. This guide covers what happens on the trip, which package to pick, how much you'll pay and a few tips we share with every guest.

A Typical Arabian Desert Safari, Step by Step

Your trip starts when our driver picks you up from your hotel or home in a 4x4. Once the city is behind you, the driver lowers the tyre pressure and the real ride starts. That's dune bashing. The car climbs a dune, tips over the top and slides down the other side. It doesn't last long, but it's the part most guests talk about afterwards.

Next comes a stop on a high dune to watch the sunset and take photos. As the sun drops, the sand changes colour and everything goes quiet. Take a few pictures, then just enjoy the view for a minute.

Then you drive to the camp. You can try a short camel ride and some sandboarding down the dunes. Ladies and kids can get henna designs on their hands, and water and soft drinks are unlimited. When it gets dark, dinner is served, followed by 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.

Picking the Right Safari Package

No one package is right for everyone. It comes down to how much you want to spend, who's coming with you and how much adventure you are after.

Evening Desert Safari Dubai

Most of our guests go for this one, 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. First time in the desert? This is the best place to start.

The VIP Desert Safari Dubai

Same trip, more comfort. You're picked up in a Land Cruiser, and at the camp you get VIP sofa seating and a VIP buffet. The VIP desert safari Dubai starts from 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.

Morning Desert Safari Dubai

Not everyone has a free evening. 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. There's no dinner or show, but the soft morning light makes for great photos. Prices start at AED 120 per person.

Quad Biking on Your Safari

Prices start at AED 200 per person.

Dune Buggy Dubai

For people who love speed, dune buggy Dubai rides are the highlight. You're in the driver's seat, once you've had a quick safety talk, with a guide leading the more info way and stops on the high dunes for photos. The ride takes about four hours in total and starts from AED 200 per person. Transfers are not included, so tell us if you need them.

Is Dune Bashing Safe?

Dune bashing Dubai rides look wild, but our drivers know the desert well. You'll bounce around, so keep your seatbelt on and hold the handle. Have a light lunch before you go, and sit in the front if you tend to feel car sick.

Pregnant guests, people with back or neck problems and parents with babies should let us know when booking. You can skip the dune bashing and still enjoy everything at the camp.

Simple Packing Tips

• Light, loose clothes

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

• Sunglasses and sunscreen

• A light jacket from December to February, as desert nights get cool

• A fully charged phone or camera

The Best Season to Visit the Desert

October to April is the best time to go. Days are warm and evenings are pleasant, which is perfect for dinner under the stars. 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.
