About the Desert Safari Dubai
No trip to Dubai is complete without an evening in the desert. We pick you up from your hotel in the afternoon and drive out to the dunes, where your driver lets some air out of the tyres and the fun begins — dune bashing over the red-gold sand is a real rollercoaster.
Next comes a stop for sunset photos, then it is on to a traditional desert camp. Ride a camel, try sandboarding, get a henna design and relax on cushions while dinner is prepared. The evening finishes with a BBQ buffet and live entertainment: Tanoura dancing, a belly dance show and a fire show.
The full evening safari with hotel pickup, BBQ dinner and all the shows is 100 AED per person. Short on time? Our sunset desert safari covers the dune bashing, sandboarding, camel ride and sunset for 70 AED, without dinner. Not sure which one suits you? Message us and we will help you choose.
