Dubai Desert Safari Packages: Which One Is Right for You?
Dubai Desert Safari Packages: Which One Is Right for You?
Blog Article
Picking a safari should be the easy part of your trip. 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 VIP Dubai Safari the point of a Hummer? Is a quad bike worth adding? We answer all of those questions below, in plain English.
We're Dubai Safari Desert, and we run desert trips all year, from short sunrise trips to overnight stays. Here's how our packages compare, so you can pick the right one in a few minutes.
Start With Three Simple Questions
Before you look at prices, think about three things:
• Do you have a morning, an evening or a full night free?
• Would you rather drive yourself or be driven?
• Do you want extra comfort, or is the standard camp fine?
Once you have the answers, the right package usually picks itself.
The Evening Packages
Most people book an evening trip, and for good reason. You see the dunes in the golden light, watch the sunset and finish with dinner and shows under the stars. All evening trips run from about 2 PM to 9 PM.
Our Classic Evening Trip at AED 80
This is our best-value trip. The evening Dubai safari comes with 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? The VIP Dubai safari gives you VIP seating, a BBQ buffet and four shows. It's a small step up in price, but the evening feels more relaxed.
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.
Packages With More Adventure
Some guests want more than a ride in the back of a 4x4. These packages are for them.
Safari With Quad Bike, AED 160
It's the full evening safari with a quad bike ride added. Timing is the same, about 2 PM to 9 PM, and it's one of our most-booked trips for groups of friends.
Buggy Plus Quad Bike at 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.
The Hummer Trip at AED 140
Riding over the dunes in a Hummer feels very different from a normal 4x4. The 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 stops at the best photo points, plus water and soft drinks. You're back before lunch with the rest of the day free.
Overnight Dubai Safari, AED 260
For the full desert experience, stay the night. 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 about 3 PM, and the evening ends around 9 PM. It's the cheapest way to enjoy the camp, the dinner and the shows.

The Basics You Always Get
Whichever package you pick, a few things stay the same. Our camps follow a traditional Bedouin style, with low seating, soft lights and plenty of space. Dinner has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Pickup and drop-off are confirmed 24 hours before your trip, so you know exactly when to be ready.
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.
How the Evening Goes
Your driver picks you up in the early afternoon. Once the city is behind you, the road turns to sand. The driver lets some air out of the tyres, and then the dune bashing starts. The 4x4 climbs each dune, tips over the top and slides down the other side. It's bumpy, but it's a lot of fun.
Next, you stop on a high dune to watch the sunset. From there, you head to the camp for a camel ride, dinner and live shows. By about 9 PM, you're on your way back to your hotel.
What If I Get Car Sick?
Our drivers do this every day and know the dunes well. You wear a seatbelt the whole time. 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.
Your Questions, Answered
Is the Hummer trip worth it?
If you want something different from a normal 4x4, yes. The Hummer is bigger and feels more powerful on the dunes, and it makes for great photos.
What's the best trip for a family?
The Evening Dubai Safari at AED 80 or the VIP trip at AED 120 work well for families. Kids love the camel ride and the shows.
Do prices include pickup?
Yes, all our guided trips include pickup and drop-off. Only the self drive option needs you to make your own way.
What should I wear?
Light, loose clothes and comfortable shoes are best. Bring a jacket in winter, as nights get cool.
Can I book for a big group?
Yes, just tell us how many people are coming and we'll plan the cars.
