Amazing Experience!
Abdul has been the greatest tour guide we could ever have! ❤️

Fun on the dunes
Our experience was worth the price and everything that came with it. Our driver for the safari was experienced and did a good job on the dunes and every other person involved thereafter at the camp was very hospitable and friendly.

Desert experience
Good experience fun in the desert

Exotic experience in Abu Dhabi!
Abdul is a great driver, the sand dunes with the car was intense. The ATVs is charged apart from the tour. The camel ride is quick. They take pictures of you that are later sold to you. The BBQ was disappointing given that they only provide one small piece of chicken and a sausage, the rest is are only sides. The drinks and rest of things are charged for too, one bottle of water was provided for free to each. The shows were nice. We were not told about the “VIP area” at the camp, which was also charged for. In general, we had a good time but many things can improve.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Abu Dhabi.
How much does Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Abu Dhabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows 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 Abu Dhabi is not rushed.
Is Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,137 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Abu Dhabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows?
+
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 Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows?
+
Around 398 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 Abu Dhabi 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 Abu Dhabi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Abu Dhabi Desert Safari With BBQ Dinner & Live Shows 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 Abu Dhabi 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 Abu Dhabi?
+
On Outty we rank every Abu Dhabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Abu Dhabi Desert Safari with Camel Ride BBQ Dinner and Live Shows, Abu Dhabi: Desert Safari with BBQ, Camel Ride & Sandboarding, Half-Day Desert Safari from Abu Dhabi. 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 Abu Dhabi?
+
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 Abu Dhabi?
+
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.
