Itinerary

120 min

After being picked up from your hotel, you'll head to the desert with your local guide. Once there, enjoy refreshments like Arabic tea or coffee with dates, and take a moment to relax and use the restroom. Next, get ready for an exciting ATV Quad biking experience in the wide-open desert dunes. Each guest will have their own quad bike to ride. This is not the typical "circuit drive" where many bikes ride in a small, enclosed area (which is better suited for kids). Instead, you’ll get to ride over high dunes for a real adventure. You can choose the duration of your ride—10, 30, or 60 minutes—based on your preference and budget. Your safety is our top priority throughout the experience

60 min

Experience a thrilling 4x4 AWD Land Cruiser ride over the golden dunes, with a photo stop included. This adventure is perfect for those who love excitement and adventure, set in the golden sands of the UAE's Arabian desert. Feel the rush as your expert guide takes you on an unforgettable dune ride!

180 min

Experience an authentic Bedouin-style desert camp. Our camp is located deep in the desert, far from any roads, and only accessible by 4x4 AWD vehicles, giving you a true feel of Bedouin life. Once at the camp, relax in comfortable seating and enjoy a variety of activities like camel rides, sandboarding, smoking hookah (Shisha), getting henna designs, and watching 3 live shows – belly dancing, a fire show, and a Tanura dance performance. End the night with a delicious BBQ dinner and much more!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Desert Safari Experience with Outstanding Guide Aamir

We had an amazing time on the Desert Safari Dubai Tour in February 2026. The dune bashing was thrilling, the camel ride was a great experience, and the BBQ dinner was delicious with plenty of options. The whole evening was well organized and perfect for our family. A special mention to Aamir, who truly made the experience outstanding. He was professional, friendly, and ensured we felt safe and comfortable throughout, especially during the dune bashing. His positive attitude and excellent service made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai!
