Your Dubai Desert Safari isn’t just a tour – it’s a complete Arabian adventure crafted with comfort, excitement, and authenticity in mind. Unlike standard safaris, we take you deep into the red dunes of Lahbab or the pristine Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve, where the desert feels untouched and magical. Enjoy the thrill of professional dune bashing, try sandboarding, and capture unforgettable photos at panoramic sunset stops. Your tours also feature camel rides, quad biking, and dune buggies for those who want extra adventure. At camp, relax with a traditional BBQ dinner under the stars, while live cultural shows like Tanoura dance, fire shows, and belly dance create an unforgettable atmosphere. With VIP upgrades, private options, and licensed in-person guides, every traveler can customize the experience to match their style. We combine safety, authenticity, and world-class hospitality – making your desert safari the highlight of your Dubai trip.

5.00Had an amazing desert safari experience, truly a new and unforgettable adventure for me. A big shoutout to our driver Hamdan—very professional, friendly, and made us feel safe throughout the journey. Dune bashing was the absolute highlight—thrilling, well-controlled, and insanely fun! You could really feel his expertise while driving over the dunes. Overall, a fantastic experience and I’d highly recommend this safari, especially if Hamdan is your driver.

5.00My friend and I had a memorable experience in the desert, with Ibraheem as our friendly guide. We enjoyed the quad biking (though good to note it’s an extra charge). We recommend upgrading the dinner package for the evening as the food selection and seating is far better and worth the upgrade.
