Outstanding- Nasr was an incredible guide and the service and experience was first class
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our safari, and a huge part of that was thanks to Nasr, our expert tour guide. From the very start, he showed incredible care, professionalism, and attention to detail, especially with our family. Nasr is an exceptional driver, confident, smooth, and clearly very experienced which made the dune driving thrilling but always felt safe and controlled. Beyond that, he was incredibly attentive, constantly checking that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. He shared insights, stories, and local knowledge that brought the desert experience to life, and he did so with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was thought through. It felt very personal rather than a standard tour, which made a big difference for us as a family. We couldn’t recommend Nasr highly enough if you get the chance to have him as your guide, you’re in very good hands. A truly memorable experience from start to finish. ⸻ If you’d like, I can: • Make it shorter • Make it more enthusiastic • Add a line about kids, photos, or safety • Tailor it specifically to 57 Safari branding
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Nasr made your family’s experience so special. His professionalism, care, and passion for what he does truly shine through, and we’re glad you felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the journey. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another memorable experience.

Perfect!
Simply amazing. We got picked up at our hotel and drove into the desert. On the way, Arshad stopped us at a camel race which was super cute. Then started the sand dunes. We stopped for sand sledding and a photo op. Arshad is an amazing photographer which made the trip even better! We then continued to the camp. Saw a falcon presentation, had some snacks and did the open jeep to find the animals. Continued to a camel ride then dinner and many shows. The experience felt personal and exclusive. Everyone was super attentive. And of course, Arshad is the best!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience We’re delighted to hear that Arshad made your desert adventure so memorable and that you enjoyed every part from the camel race and sand dunes to the camp activities and dinner. Your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for another exclusive safari soon.

Exhilarating Desert Safari Adveture
Exhilarating experience. Amer was such a kind guide and was extremely helpful, and his dune bashing driving was very pro! I would recommend this experience as it is close to Dubai and has a lot of great amenities. Getting to hold a falcon and pet his feathers was very unique.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that Amer made your experience so enjoyable with his kindness, helpfulness, and professional dune bashing skills. It’s great to know you enjoyed the proximity to Dubai, the amenities, and the unique experience with the falcon. We truly appreciate your recommendation

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing cost?
+
Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing?
+
Included: Full Henna Tattoo By A Skilled Artist; Camel Ride & Sandboarding; Live Music & Entertainment Shows; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Dinner. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1241 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 57 Premium Desert Safari with Dune Bashing?
