A desert safari in Dubai is an exciting trip that lets you enjoy the Arabian Desert. The morning safari starts early. You can try dune bashing (driving over sand dunes), sandboarding (sliding down dunes on a board), and camel riding. The evening safari is very popular. It includes dune bashing, sandboarding, camel riding, and visiting a Bedouin-style camp. At the camp, you can enjoy dinner, music, and dance shows. With the overnight safari, you stay in the desert overnight. After evening activities and dinner, you sleep in a Bedouin tent and wake up to a desert sunrise.
A private safari is just for you and your group. You can choose your activities and enjoy the desert at your own pace.
Dune Bashing is a fun ride in a 4x4 vehicle over the sand dunes. It feels like a roller coaster ride. Sandboarding is a slide down the dunes on a board, just like snowboarding but on sand. Camel Riding allows you to see the desert from a different view. Quad Biking and Dune Buggy Rides offer extra adventure with a quad bike or dune buggy over the dunes. Falconry lets you watch trained falcons in action, which are an important part of Arabian culture.
Traditional Welcome: At the camp, you’ll be welcomed with Arabic coffee (Gahwa) and dates. Henna Painting allows you to get temporary designs on your hands or feet made with henna dye. Shisha (Hookah) lets you try smoking a shisha pipe with different flavors. Traditional Entertainment includes watching belly dancing, Tanoura dance (a traditional Egyptian dance), and fire shows. BBQ Dinner lets you enjoy a buffet with grilled meats, salads, traditional Arabic dishes, and desserts.
Most tours include pick-up and drop-off from your hotel or a meeting point. Morning safaris last about 3-4 hours. Evening safaris are about 6-7 hours. Overnight safaris last from late afternoon until the next morning. Safety is important; follow the guides' instructions to stay safe during activities.
Morning Safari typically ranges from AED 150 to AED 250 per person. Evening Safari prices range from AED 200 to AED 350 per person. Overnight Safari prices vary widely but can range from AED 400 to AED 800 or more per person, depending on the inclusions and luxury level of the camp.
