Horrible and Unprofessional

Bab Al sham safari was booked months ago and was cancelled day of by tour company. When I call tour operator he stated bab Al sham did not have any openings and he would call me back. He never called me back and I was luckily able to book same day with another company so there was clearly openings at Bab Al sham. Very unprofessional and do not take into consideration the time spent by families when planning trips. Do not use this company!!!!

Horrible experience / scam

Driver pick up was a no show for our desert safari tour, nobody even tried contacting us. When I contacted rah travel to ask where the driver was they said they didn’t have room for us and that we couldn't do the tour. This was very disruptive to our travel plans and just poor service. For context, I booked the tour months in advance, so clearly this company is badly managed. Do not trust these guys.

Arabian Nights

It was a wonderful experience and I have unforgettable memories! The food, the space, the presentation, everything was like something out of an Arabian night!

Scam

This tour is a scam. They do not give you what you paid for. We had included in our package pictures with a flacon, sand surfing, etc…yet when we arrived were told they were extra charges. We had to argue with them. The driver was terrible he could not explain the items on the tour and argued with us that we didn’t have the package we paid for despite showing him our confirming emails. Driver also left us with our belongings in the car (cash, medicine etc..) so he could go pick other tourists and bring them back. He was driving at crazy speeds probably so he could get back in time to get the next group. Crazy. The camel ride is a joke. You walk in a circle for 2 minutes and the guide attempts to take a picture of you. The only thing that was good was the dinner buffet at Al Shams - the food was excellent. The rest of the tour I would skip and just do dinner at Al Shams if you want to experience an authentic Arabic dinner with multiple fresh food options.

Desert Safari With Bab Al Shams Dinner: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Desert Safari With Bab Al Shams Dinner cost?

+

Prices start at $300 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 With Bab Al Shams Dinner take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 With Bab Al Shams Dinner worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 43 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 With Bab Al Shams 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 With Bab Al Shams Dinner suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Desert Safari With Bab Al Shams Dinner?

+

Around 15 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Desert Safari With Bab Al Shams 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 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.
