What to Expect on a Desert Safari in Dubai?
Most desert safaris in Dubai include hotel pickup, dune bashing in a 4×4 vehicle, and time in a traditional desert camp.
Depending on the tour, you can enjoy camel rides, sandboarding, BBQ dinner, and live shows such as belly dancing or fire performances.
Each safari offers a slightly different experience, so it’s worth comparing the options to find the perfect one for you.
Is hotel pickup included?
Our most desert safari tours include hotel pickup and drop-off within Abu Dhabi.
Pickup times depend on the type of safari you choose (morning, afternoon, or evening) and your pickup location. You will receive the approximate pickup time after your booking and the exact details shortly before your Safari starts.
Are desert safaris safe?
Yes, desert safaris are generally very safe when operated by experienced and licensed drivers.
All our activities follow safety guidelines, and professional drivers are trained for desert conditions.
Is Dune Bashing a MUST?
Dune bashing is not mandatory and can be skipped if you prefer a more relaxed experience.
It is not recommended for pregnant women or guests with back or heart conditions. If you wish to skip dune bashing, simply mention it when booking – you can still enjoy all other aspects of the safari.
Can I customize or request a private tour?
Yes, private desert safaris can be arranged specially for families or small groups.
This is a great option if you prefer a more exclusive and flexible experience.
What clothes are best for a desert safari?
Comfortable and practical clothing is recommended, as desert safaris are outdoor activities.
Temperatures can vary depending on the season:
In summer, light and breathable clothing is best
In winter, evenings can get cooler, so bringing a light jacket is advisable
We also recommend not wearing your most delicate or expensive clothing, as sand and outdoor activities may cause dirt or minor damage.
If you plan to do quad biking, wearing long trousers is strongly recommended to protect your legs from the heat of the vehicle.
What about washrooms?
All desert camps are equipped with clean and modern washroom facilities, including proper toilets and washing areas, so you can enjoy your experience comfortably.
Is quad biking available on all desert safaris?
Quad biking is available on most desert safaris, but usually as an optional add-on at an additional cost.
Only dedicated quad biking tours include it as part of the main experience.
For safety reasons, quad biking is always conducted under supervision, and guests are not allowed to ride freely without guidance. Before starting, you will receive a short safety briefing and will be asked to sign a waiver confirming that you participate at your own risk.
What do I need for an overnight desert safari?
Sleeping arrangements, including bedding, are provided either in traditional tents or in more solid accommodation units, depending on the tour.
We recommend bringing your own towel and personal toiletries. For the evening and night, a flashlight or your smartphone light can be helpful, especially when moving around the camp.
