If you search for a desert safari in Dubai, the first question is always the same: how much does it cost, and what is the difference between the cheap one and the one with dinner?
Here is the straight answer, with our actual prices.
Our evening desert safari is AED 150 per person. Our afternoon desert safari with BBQ dinner, the sharing one most people book, is AED 180 per person. That AED 30 difference is not random. It is dinner, the camp, and the shows — and about three extra hours.
The AED 150 evening safari
This one is 4 hours. We pick you up from central Dubai, drive out to the desert, and you get the main part most people come for: dune bashing, a sunset stop for photos, a short camel ride, and sandboarding.
There is no dinner and no camp show on this one. That suits you if you are short on time, if you already have dinner plans in the city, or if you just want the dunes without a long evening out.
The AED 180 sharing safari with BBQ dinner
This is the full evening, about 7 hours. Same start — pickup, dune bashing, camel ride, sandboarding — then you go to the camp.
At the camp you get a BBQ buffet dinner and live shows. This is the one to pick if it is your first desert safari in Dubai, or if you are travelling with family and want the whole evening in one booking, not just the drive.
Sharing, private car, or red dunes?
Sharing means you travel with other guests in the same car. It keeps the price down.
A private car desert safari is AED 900 per group. You get your own car and your own pace. For a family or a group travelling together, that often works out better than paying per person and waiting on others.
The red dune desert safari is AED 230 per person. The dunes are bigger and the drive is a bit more intense. If you have already done a normal safari and want something stronger, this is the upgrade.
How booking actually works
You do not need to fill a long form. Send us a WhatsApp message on +971-55-9215470 with your date, your hotel, and how many people are travelling. We will confirm your pickup time and the total price before you pay anything.
Pickup is from central Dubai. If your hotel is outside central Dubai, just tell us the location on WhatsApp and we will tell you straight away if pickup is possible and if there is any extra charge. We would rather tell you before booking than surprise you later.
A small tip from our side: wear light clothes, bring something warm for after sunset in winter, and keep your phone charged. The sunset photos are usually the ones people end up keeping.
