Dubai Desert Safari Packages: Which One Is Right for You?
Blog Article
Choosing a desert trip shouldn't feel like homework. But when you see ten different Dubai desert safari packages on one page, it's easy to get stuck. Do you need VIP? What's the point of a Hummer? Is a quad bike worth adding? This guide answers all of that in plain English.
At Dubai Safari Desert, check here we run trips all year round, from short sunrise trips to overnight stays. Here's how each package compares, so you can pick the right one in a few minutes.
How to Choose in Three Steps
Before you look at prices, think about three things:
• Do you have a morning, an evening or a full night free?
• Do you want to drive yourself, or sit back and be driven?
• Do you want extra comfort, or is the standard camp fine?
Once you have the answers, the right package usually picks itself.
Evening Dubai Safari Options
Most people book an evening trip, and for good reason. You get golden light on the dunes, a sunset stop and dinner with shows after dark. All evening trips run from about 2 PM to 9 PM.
Evening Dubai Safari, AED 80
This is the trip that gives you the most for the money. The evening Dubai safari includes 4x4 pickup, dune bashing, a camel ride, a buffet dinner and four live shows. For a classic first desert trip, start here.
The AED 100 Evening Trip
For a little more, you get a few extras, such as sandboarding and henna, along with a BBQ dinner and pickup in an air-conditioned car.
VIP Dubai Safari, AED 120
Want a better seat at the camp? The VIP Dubai safari gives you VIP seating, a BBQ buffet and four shows. The extra cost is small, and the evening feels calmer.
The Premium Trip at AED 230
For the most comfort, choose our premium desert safari Dubai package. You get premium service throughout the evening, and you can add a quad bike if you like.
If You Want Some Speed
Some guests want more than a ride in the back of a 4x4. These trips are made for them.
Quad Bike Safari at AED 160
It's the full evening safari with a quad bike ride added. It runs from about 2 PM to 9 PM, and groups of friends love it.
Buggy and Quad Bike Safari, AED 200
Can't decide between a buggy and a quad? Do both. The buggy and quad bike safari includes helmets and safety gear, with flexible timing.
Hummer Dubai Safari, AED 140
Riding over the dunes in a Hummer feels very different from a normal 4x4. Our Hummer Dubai safari runs from about 2 PM to 9 PM, and finishes with dinner and shows at the camp.
Early Starts and Late Nights
The Sunrise Trip at AED 140
If you love quiet mornings, the sunrise desert safari Dubai trip is for you. It runs from about 8 AM to 11 AM, with photo stops on the dunes and water and soft drinks included. You're back by lunchtime, so the rest of the day is yours.
Overnight Dubai Safari, AED 260
If you really want to feel the desert, stay overnight. Our overnight Dubai safari runs from around 2 PM until 9 AM the next morning. It includes the evening programme, camping, stargazing and breakfast.
Drive Yourself for AED 40
If you have your own 4x4, the self drive safari costs only AED 40 per person. You meet us at our parking area at around 3 PM, and the evening ends around 9 PM. It's the cheapest way to enjoy the camp, the dinner and the shows.

We also offer an Abu Dhabi desert safari for AED 140, and city tours of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Hatta, if you'd like to see more of the UAE.
An Evening in the Desert, Step by Step
Your driver picks you up in the early afternoon. After a while, the buildings disappear and the dunes begin. The driver lowers the tyre pressure, and the dune bashing begins. The car goes up, over and down the dunes at angles that make everyone shout. It's a bumpy ride, but most people love it.
Next, you stop on a high dune to watch the sunset. Then you drive to the camp for a camel ride, dinner and the shows. At around 9 PM, it's time for the drive back to your hotel.
A Quick Word on Safety
The drivers know these dunes very well and drive them daily. Seatbelts stay on the whole way. If you get car sick, eat a light lunch and ask for the front seat. If you're pregnant, have a bad back or have a baby with you, tell us when booking, and we'll help you pick the right trip.
Questions We Hear Every Day
Is the Hummer trip worth it?
