Dubai Desert Safari - Sandboarding, Quad Bike & BBQ Options
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
This tour blends adventure, culture, and choice, making it one of Dubai’s most flexible desert experiences. Unlike standard safaris, you can choose between a shorter 4-hour adventure or a full 7-hour cultural evening.
Both include thrilling 30–45 minutes of Red Dunes dune bashing, sandboarding, and a short camel ride. For those with more time, the 7-hour option adds a Bedouin-style camp with BBQ dinner, live entertainment, and traditional activities like henna, shisha, and falcon photos.
Guests are welcomed with Arabic coffee, dates, and sweets, creating an authentic Emirati touch. Licensed guides ensure your safety in fully equipped 4x4 vehicles, while small group sizes keep the experience personal.
Whether you want adrenaline, cultural immersion, or both, this safari lets you tailor your desert journey to fit your schedule—morning, afternoon, or evening under the stars.

5.00Fantastic experience, everything was well organized and this tour exceeded my expectations. Our guide Mian Sajid was fantastic and made the trip very smooth and helped with great photography at all the stops. He was a brilliant dune bashing driver and very informative about Dubai and the places we passed on the way to the desert. Highly recommended to anyone traveling to Dubai.
