Sorely disappointed
My family was very disappointed with this tour. Throughout the activities we received very little guidance from our driver/guide and the situation was very confusing. We spent a significant amount of time standing around waiting. The camel ride and dune bashing was enjoyable, but many of the other activities were at an extra cost, leaving few things to do. The food was good, but we left early because the entertainment was quite dull. Others many find this tour okay, but I personally would not recommend.

Literally worst tour I have been on as a seasoned world traveler!
As a seasoned travelers, this is hands down the WORST tour that my partner and I have ever been on. Where to begin—placed with a driver for a two hour journey spoke that absolutely no English and frankly was unsafe—frequently made sudden stops including one at a highway round about after failing to see a large truck that made the back row go air born—in seatbelts. My bag ended up hitting me in the head! He blared the music the entire trip and requests to turn it down were unheeded because there was no way to communicate with him. Ultimately, he went on to swerve in and out of traffic erratically and caused me to get car sick before the tour even started. Not to mention the additional hour added to pick up a group over 45 minutes. Thankfully we brought our own water for a two hour journey. Next, we arrived to the desert camp that was very worn down and frankly unsanitary with biting flies everywhere. At least the main guide spoke English. We waited a long time for dinner. What struck me as unfortunate was the staff were eating before the guests who paid for the tour. We got up to go get food once called, and some people were so hangry that they literally pushed me aside why I was getting my utensils to cut ahead. It was poorly organized and mismanaged—at best. Definitely don’t recommend this tour that was a waste of time and money while leaving my partner and I feeling miserable.

Skip unless you must
Probably the most disappointing part of our time in Dubai. Communication was poor and confusing. We were assigned three different drivers and times the day of. I thought we were getting a private VIP tour but instead we were packed in a car with others to the point there was more people than seat belts. I have a hard time believing this tour is truly #1. It was clearly a money grab. Too many long lines. People were yelling at staff because of the long waits. The VIP experience resulted in a crappy couch and a different food line that was poorly managed. We also paid 80 euros for a bottle of cheap wine. Positives: The sand bashing and dinner (actual food) and fire dancer was the most entertaining. The other performers were awful. Everything else felt staged and didn’t live up to our expectations. There was a camel you could ride in a small circle it seemed very cruel to the animal and not at all authentic as we were lead to believe. Of special mention, our pick up driver, Ali, was terrible. He drive dangerously for the entire trip. Cross crossing traffic at high speeds only to slam on the breaks. We were more stressed on the highway than the sand dunes and I’ve traveled to many countries were the traffic rules were different, Lastly the bathrooms were disgusting dirty facilities, no toilet paper and little soap. Again unless being in a made up desert amusement park with a poorly run company is your thing, skip.

Pathetic
Shahid was very nice to us all day made our trip more fun and easy going really helped as best as he could for us in everything we done. After that all stuff food and services are pathetic, food quality is 100% unhealthy surprised how they hide all from tourism department. Very very bad experience . They serve the food with very cheap manner even we buy vip package . They gave a list these things are free but free things if u got u will feel ashamed by yourself. Only drivers behaviour and services are great others are zero I recommend DONT Plan with this pathetic company. I was ready to launch a complaint against them but because of i leave .

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Desert Safari Dubai with Dune Bashing, Activities and Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Desert Safari Dubai with Dune Bashing, Activities and Dinner 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 Dubai with Dune Bashing, Activities and Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 with Dune Bashing, Activities and Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 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 Desert Safari Dubai with Dune Bashing, Activities and 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 Desert Safari Dubai with Dune Bashing, Activities and Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Desert Safari Dubai with Dune Bashing, Activities and 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Desert Safari Dubai with Dune Bashing, Activities and 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.
