Itinerary
Begin your Dubai Desert Safari with complimentary hotel pickup by your licensed safari guide. Travel in a comfortable 4x4 toward the striking Red Dunes of Lahbab, where golden sands and rich Bedouin culture welcome you to a unique desert experience.
Enjoy a 50-minute drive as the city disappears into wide open dunes. At the meeting point, take a 30-minute break to refresh, take a short camel ride, and capture desert photos. While you relax, your guide prepares the 4x4 for offroad driving and waits for other groups to arrive. After our short break, set off on a thrilling 45-minute dune bashing ride across the rolling Red Dunes desert. Feel the adrenaline rush as your guide navigates the high slopes and steep descents in a powerful 4x4, with safety always a priority. Stop at the tallest dunes for panoramic photos, and offering a brief connection to traditional Bedouin culture. than try sandboarding—a fun and safe activity for all ages. Guests choosing the 7-hour option with BBQ will continue to a traditional Bedouin-style camp. Be welcomed with Arabic coffee, dates, and Lugaimat sweets before exploring a range of activities — henna painting, shisha, camel rides, and photo opportunities with Arabian falcons (seasonal).

Traveler reviews
Desert soul - rally in the desert
Fantastic guide, Arbab, super cool desert safari with entertainment and super tasty buffet afterwards in the desert. Highly recommended!
Too long and location details misleading
Too long. Didn’t have to be 7 hr trip. Too many dull moments between activities and more than 2hr 30 min will be spend on road. First from hotel pickup - dune bashing. 45-50 min. Then from dune bashing to camp location - 50 min - 1hr. Then back to hotel another 50 min. This wasn’t listed in details so it was misleading and I deducted 2 points for this. For people who are not interested in quad biking the first stop should be avoided by tour operator. That stop should only be if someone wants to use bathrooms, This should be max 5 hr trip. Can camp not be done in Lahbab dessert where dune bashing was done?
Paid for shared pick up...
Paid for shared pick up at hotel but received a cancellation call at last minute to offer a personal driver. Had to pay them an additional 500 AED. Food & entertainment was okay……..I would prefer another vendor. Staff was nice.
We had a blast!
We’re a family of four, visiting Dubai for the first time. This trip exceeded our expectations. Everyone had an amazing time, thanks to our tour guide Anthony. A must do during your visit to Dubai.
Great morning out
Great time. Nice comfy car, lots of space. Explained well, lovely guide Anthony Erosh. Enough time in each activity and didn’t feel like we were hanging around. We went 9.30am which was a good time for this, not too busy.
