Dubai Desert Safari Packages: Which One Is Right for You?
Dubai Desert Safari Packages: Which One Is Right for You?
Blog Article
Choosing a desert trip shouldn't feel like homework. But with so many Dubai desert safari packages to choose from, it's easy to feel lost. 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, 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.
Three Questions to Ask Yourself
Before comparing prices, ask yourself three quick questions:
• How much time do you have: a morning, an evening or a whole night?
• 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 know the answers, the right package is usually obvious.
The Evening Packages
The evening is the most popular time to go. You get golden light on the dunes, a sunset stop and dinner with shows after dark. Every evening trip runs from roughly 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. If you just want the classic desert experience, this is the one.
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? Our VIP Dubai safari includes VIP seating, a BBQ buffet and four live shows. The extra cost is small, and the evening feels calmer.
Premium Desert Safari Dubai, AED 230
For the most comfort, choose our premium desert safari Dubai package. It comes with premium service at the camp, and a quad bike can be added on top.
If You Want Some Speed
Some people want to do more than sit in the back of a car. These packages are for them.
Safari With Quad Bike, AED 160
You get the full evening trip plus your own quad bike ride on the dunes. It runs from about 2 PM to 9 PM, and it's one of our most-booked trips for groups of friends.
Buggy and Quad Bike Safari, AED 200
Can't decide between a buggy and a quad? Do both. Our buggy and quad bike safari comes with helmets and safety gear, and the timing is flexible.
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, with the usual camp, dinner and shows at the end.
Sunrise and Overnight Trips
The Sunrise Trip at AED 140
Early risers will love the sunrise desert safari Dubai trip. It goes from around 8 AM to 11 AM, with stops at the best photo points, plus water and soft drinks. You're back before lunch with the rest of the day free.
The Overnight Trip at 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. You get the evening programme, a night in the camp, stargazing and breakfast.
Self Drive Package
Got your own 4x4? The self drive safari is just AED 40 per person. You meet us at our parking area at about 3 PM, and you're done by 9 PM. It's the lowest-cost way to enjoy the camp, dinner and shows.

What Every Trip Has in Common
No matter which trip you choose, some things never change. Our camps follow a traditional Bedouin style, with low seating, soft lights and plenty of space. There are always veg and non-veg dishes at dinner. We confirm your pickup and drop-off 24 hours before the trip, so you're never left waiting and wondering.
We also run trips from Abu Dhabi for AED 140, plus city tours of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Hatta, if you want to explore more of the country.
What a Typical Evening Looks Like
The trip starts with a pickup from your hotel 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 4x4 climbs each dune, tips over the top and slides down the other side. 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. By about 9 PM, you're on your way back to your hotel.
Is Dune Bashing Safe?
Our drivers do this every day and know the dunes well. Seatbelts stay on the whole way. If you feel car sick easily, eat light and sit in the front. Pregnant guests, people with back problems and parents with babies should tell us when they book, and we'll suggest the best package.
Questions We Hear Every Day
