    Fantastic full day tour of the Grand Mosque & Red Dunes with Oscar Knight Tours.

    This tour was fantastic. We got to see the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque without having to spend unnecessary stops for shopping as offered in other full day tours. The Red Dunes with BBQ dinner was excellent. Ashraf was a fantastic and skilful driver. He was a great guide and driver. Enjoyed the Dunes bashing very much. Had fun doing the sun boarding. The camel ride was great. Coffee with the sunset backdrop and photo with the Falcon with the sunset was lovely and romantic. The show during the dinner was very good. Would recommend this tour for anyone wishing to all both itinerary in a day. Ashraf, thank you!

    The Best Tour in UAE

    Ashraf was the tour guide that we had for the Red Dunes safari and I have to say he is super fun. He picked up me and my friend right from the Business Bay in a Land Cruiser promptly and we drove down to Lababh Desert (45 mins) during the drive we were met with a group of individuals from Morocco! Did some Dune bashing which was insane! It was extreme fun and im sure he had fun the way he was driving on those sandhills (exhilarating!!) he was super professional, patient and courteous! Overall 1000/10000 experience. Loved the camel rides, pictures before the sunset and not to mention the most delicious buffet, live performances (belly dancing, fire shows and traditional dancing) overall it was the highlight of my trip in the UAE and loved the arabian experience.

    Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Tour

    I did the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque tour with Waseem, and it was an absolute amazing experience. From the moment he picked us up and and dropped the entire journey was amazing. During our drive to Abu Dhabi which took less than 2 hours, he talked about his back story and also shared alot about the Emirati culture and people. He pointed out monuments, and sights during our drive and made the experience so much more enjoyable. Here for just a short time but this was one of the best services I ever got. The hospitality that Waseem has to offer is personable and does not talk to you like you a regular “tourist” will definitely miss this and looking forward to coming back. In addition, I also shared with Waseem my interest in the Travel & Tourism sector, and he was able to share some great tips that will help me as well! Overall 100/10! Amazing🙏🏽😀

    DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.

    How much does DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $110 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 DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 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 DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner?

    +

    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 DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner?

    +

    Around 7 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner 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 DEAL: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Dubai Red Dunes with BBQ Dinner?
