This is the most thrilling and also relaxing experience you will ever get.

Driver was not friendly....

Driver was not friendly. Very rude. Showed up unannounced 30 minutes before the pick up time and accused us of being late. Didn't do full justice to the dune bashing.

Horrible experience. Worst service ever.

Horrible experience. The driver we got didn't provide any background of the tour, what we are seeing and what we are going to do. Basically drove the car in silence until he attempted to cross the bump covering the telecommunication cable. The car got hung up on the bump and we got us stuck in the desert for 4 hours. No water was provided despite being part of the deal. No communication was provided how the issue would be resolved. Not even once the office called us or expressed concern about our well being. After 4 hours of being stuck, the rest of the "tour" was done in haste and in the darkness. The next day a partner Nayef contacted me and agreed to provide a refund. After almost 1 month no refund was issued and the company and Nayef do not respond to my messages.

Crappy tour

Crappy tour, where it’s too far drive from the Dubai city center. We didn’t get drinks (water and softdrinks) as should have been included.

Desert Safari Dubai: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Desert Safari Dubai cost?

+

Prices start at $46 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 Dubai 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 Dubai worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 73 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 Dubai?

+

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 Dubai suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 3. 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 Desert Safari Dubai?

+

Around 26 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 Dubai 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 Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. 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.
