Step into our lantern-lit desert camp and the night sparks to life: henna artists, Arabic dress photos, fresh bread rolling, and aromatic shisha under the first stars.

A Day Desert Safari in Dubai, A Lifelong Memory!
We started with a nice greating from our guide and host Kaleem. During our safari he was very informative and give clear directions of what we will be doing next. He gave us some great details about the local areas we were visiting. He made sure that we knew what we could do and other activities available. The drive in the dune was really fun and the best part for me, but yet we felt save. We kept laughing and bouning. He really knew how to drive there. We had a chance to take some great pictures on top of the dune, and Kaleem help take many for us and even recommended how to take more, for better wow effects. The camp and entertaiment was also fun to watch and the bbq was delicious and plenty. We booked the safari via what'sapp which was easy and straight forward with easy payment available. We paid 130 per person for the whole afternoon and evening of fun. It was definitely worth it, highly recommended it. Thank you Kaleem for making it a memorable experience. Gilles C. Meira

Best Dubai Experience
Totally recommend this experience. We all enjoyed the safari dunes, camel rides and the atv bikes. The dinner and show at the end was wonderful too. Our host Kaleem was super great with us. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Kaleem is glowing from your "super great"—he says your smiles across the dunes, camels, ATVs and that final fire-dance were his perfect evening! Thanks for the total recommendation; whenever the gang craves another round of sand and stars, just shout "Kaleem" and we'll save his front seat, the same sunset stop, and that wonderful camp finale. See you all soon!

Thank you Anjad!
We had such a wonderful day all lead by Anjad- from start to finish he made us feel so taken care of. He listened to all our wants and needs and put our minds at ease for anything we were nervous about. He made us laugh all day and made us feel so safe - even protected our handbag! He was the best photographer and got us all the photos we wanted and more - and made sure in everything we did we were having fun! I couldn’t recommend the experience enough and highly advise you request Anjad!
Response from the operator: Amjad is officially blushing—"protected our handbag" just became his new favorite review line! From easing nerves to doubling as your personal photographer and stand-up comic, he's thrilled every moment felt safe, fun, and perfectly captured. Your recommendation means the world; whenever you're ready for round two (or three, or ten), just whisper "Amjad" and we'll lock in his cruiser, his camera, and that same handbag-guarding, laugh-inducing magic. See you soon for the next adventure!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Desert Safari, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Desert Safari, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding 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, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 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, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding?
+
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, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding 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, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding?
+
Around 13 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, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding 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, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding?
+

Not included: Any other expenses not mentioned. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Desert Safari, Quad Bike, Camel Ride, W/BBQ Dinner & Sandboarding include hotel pickup?
+

+
