Desert Safari in Dubai

For sharing options, we can only do pick ups from hotels in Dubai or Sharjah. For private car options we can do pick ups from anywhere. Hotel pick up time will vary depending on your hotel, and will be specified once you have made your reservation. You will be picked up from your hotel and returned to your hotel after the trip. 

Upon arriving at the desert, the first step is deflating the tyres and grouping together. Deflating the tyres is necessary to increase the area of the tyres and thus increase the offroading driving capabilities. Once the group is all together and the tyres are deflated, you will be proceed to desert driving, aka ‘dune bashing. 

The dune bashing or desert riding is arguably the most important part of the trip. The cars used for Safaris are powerful full option Toyota Land cruisers, and with deflated tyres in 4×4 mode these cars are perfectly suited to take on the sands of the UAE. Driving in the desert is a lot of fun and feels like a roller coaster, with going up and down the dunes. Its a mix of tranquility which comes from being in complete emptiness mixed with adrenaline that comes from the rather unusual feelings of such driving. We work with extremely experienced drivers and perfectly equipped cars. Cars which are fully insured for off-road, have roll cages and the right engine power along with the right tyre size.

After a bit of dune bashing, we will make a pit stop somewhere in the heart of the desert where you will be able to leave the vehicle and get the magical feeling of being in the sands. The desert is a really tranquil place and for someone who has never been inside it before is fascinating. The sand is very soft and the landscapes which it forms are mesmerizing. During the photostop you will be offered some refreshments and once all the selfies and group photos are shot we will board the cars again and proceed towards the ‘camp’.

The desert camp is rather large and located approximately 1.5 km from the main road in a ‘bowl’ surrounded by sand dunes. The camp is centred around a ‘stage’ on which live performances happen. Around the stage are low tables with cushions which is the main seating area where guests are seated for dinner and drinks. A couple of important things about the camp: Camels: you are able to ride and take pictures with camels at no extra charge Falcon: there is a falcon at the camp for pictures (extra 10 AED) Small snacks: there are a couple of small snacks around the camp. Bar: there is a bar serving alcoholic beverages at the camp. Henna Station: there is an area for hand painting (henna) at an extra charge. Hookah: aka shisha, an arabic water pipe for smoking is available at extra cost. BBQ Dinner: the buffet dinner at the camp consists of mainly BBQ meat, 6 kinds of salad, Rice, potatoes and hummus – as well as water and non alcoholic soft drinks.

The Live Entertainment consists of 2 shows: Belly Dance Show This is performed by a female belly dancer – a traditional form of dance characteristic of the levant region of the Arabian world. Tanura Dance Show This is performed by a male dance and is a dervish dance that consists of a constant spinning motion with various patterns.

Depending on the location of your hotel, you should return before 22.00.
