The experience

Your 4x4 vehicle picks you up from your Dubai hotel and heads straight into the red dunes for dune bashing. The driver handles the thrills while you grip the seat. After the adrenaline settles, you'll try sandboarding on the golden slopes and take a short camel ride. The day's anchor is the sunset stop, a moment to photograph the dunes turning orange and pink before the light goes. Then the vehicle carries you to the Bedouin camp, where the evening begins with Arabic coffee, dates, and Emirati sweets.

Dinner is a 32-item buffet mixing vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, served in a premium camp with luxurious shared seating areas. While you eat, the entertainment unfolds: belly dancing, the spinning Tanoura performance, and a fire show that builds through the evening. Unlimited water, tea, coffee, and soft drinks flow throughout. The whole experience runs 7.5 hours from pickup to drop-off, so you're back at your hotel by night.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Arabic and Hindi.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 8 years). Children under 4 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What time does the desert safari leave Dubai and when do I get back to my hotel?

The tour runs 7.5 hours total with pickup from your hotel and return drop-off included, so timing depends on your pickup location, but the safari itself spans the afternoon into evening to catch the sunset and the camp entertainment after dark.

Is dune bashing rough, and will I be uncomfortable in the 4x4?

Dune bashing is the core thrill (the experienced driver navigates steep slopes and sharp turns), but it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. The vehicle is a standard 4x4 with shared seating, and the ride settles once you reach the camp.

What food and drinks are included in the BBQ dinner?

The buffet includes 32 items of mixed vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Unlimited water, tea, coffee, and soft drinks are provided throughout the evening, and alcoholic beverages, juices, and specialty drinks are available for purchase.

Is the camel ride included, or do I pay extra?

The short camel ride at the desert camp is included in the package. ATV quad bike rides are not included and can be added for an extra fee if you want them.
