Awesome Desert Safari Experience
Awesome desert safari with Rehan. Got to ride quad bikes in the sand, go on a short camel ride, ride in a car drifting across the dunes and sand-boarding. Then got a very tasty barbecue dinner with a belly dancer, tenura dance show and fire show. Rehan was very accommodating and took awesome photos he shared with us at the end. Pickup and drop off directly at your hotel was also super convenient. I highly recommend booking this tour wether you are staying in or just stopping through Abu Dhabi.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed all the activities, from quad biking, camel riding, dune bashing, and sandboarding to our delicious BBQ dinner and live entertainment.

We’re also glad you appreciated the convenient hotel pickup and drop-off. Thank you for recommending us to other travelers visiting Abu Dhabi.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Abu Dhabi.
How much does Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $98 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 Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride 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 Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Abu Dhabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride?
+
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 Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride 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 Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride?
+
Around 18 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 Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride 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 Dubai Evening Desert Safari BBQ Premium Camp & optional Quad Bike, Abu Dhabi Desert Safari with Camel Ride BBQ Dinner and Live Shows, Desert Safari In Abu Dhabi With BBQ Dinner. 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.
What is included in Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride?
+

Does Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 206 listed pickup locations in and around Abu Dhabi. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Desert Safari Abu Dhabi with Quad Bike, BBQ Dinner & Camel Ride offered in?
+
