5 star overall
The camel ride was great, short ride but truly an experience to get on it. Even better getting down. The program was great, lively and fun. Food was also good. Mr. Mohammed has excellent customer service. A 5 star experience and we added the quad bikes which was just too much fun. You will enjoy.
Response from the operator: Hi Guest, Greetings from Clifton Tours We are grateful to you for leaving such an excellent review. Our team would be happy to hear about your high praise. Thanks once more for such a generous note. Regards!!! Clifton Tours Team

SCAM - Booked a Platinum Plus package for 300 AED for 17.02.2020 and got CHEATED
I had opted for Clifton Tours basis the reviews I read in Tripadvisor. Horrible choice. I had booked a premium package which had many activities listed including horse riding, VIP table, etc. On the day of the activity Clifton Tour never showed up. They sent a different agency and the agency driver knew nothing about the package I booked. At first he demanded 350 AED (Cost of Plantinum Plus Package was 300 AED) and showed me the message of Clifton Tours in his phone directing him to collect that much money. There was no horse riding, no VIP arrangement etc. Luckily the driver was good and he spoke to Clifton to make things clear. My sister who booked the tickets for me also spoke basis which they reduced the price from 350 AED to 300 AED something which was already unfairly high. However, there was nothing offered which they claimed in their website under Plantinum Plus Package. The only off thing that happened throughout the trip was Clifton Tours. Legit thief.

Exciting, but a bit artificial
Great and very friendly driver, pick up and drop off was as requested. Dune bashing was very exciting. The desert was dirty (plastic bottles lying around) and the campsite was a bit artificial. However, the show at the end was worth waiting.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Desert Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Desert Safari 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 Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Desert Safari 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 Desert Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 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 Desert Safari?
+
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 Desert Safari 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 Desert Safari?
+
Around 4 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 Desert Safari 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 Desert Safari?
+
Included: Live Entertainment Show's; Pickup And Drop off From Dubai Sharjah; 25 to 30 minutes of Dune Driving; Tanura Show; and Camel Ride in Camp Area. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Quad Bike Ride ( Extra Charges 100 For 10 to 15 Minutes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Desert Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1240 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Desert Safari 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 Desert Safari?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Desert Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Desert Safari if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Desert Safari?
+
Across 11 reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
What booking options are available for Desert Safari?
