What you'll see and do
Our guide will receive you from the select location or hotel and take you for a desert safari in one AC 4WD vehicle. After around an hour’s journey, you will reach the desert. There you will get some time at a restroom for relaxing / warming up, while your vehicle is being equipped for a desert ride with suitable tire pressure and other adjustments. You may choose to ride a Quad bike in surroundings as an optional extra. The safari begins with dune bashing. After enjoying about 30-40 minutes of dune bashing, thrill yourselves further by trying sandboarding (sand surfing). Next, we will proceed to ‘Al Khayma’ - an authentic desert camp.

Al Khayma Camps
At the Al Khayma desert camp, get a welcome in a typical way with Dates, Sweets, and Qahwa (Arabic Coffee). Feel the real Bedouin encampment as you sit in open air or Majlis - cushions and low tables to sit on with carpets spread all over. Near the camp, take a ride in a Camel caravan/group. You may also witness the sunset view (subject to the situation, not guaranteed) from the sunset dune, close to Al Khayma. Back at Al Khayma, enjoy smoking Shisha, try Henna painting. Also do an Arab makeover in local costumes and take few snaps with one Falcon resting on your hand or shoulder. Soon you can watch the colorful performance of Tanoura dance, and have a dinner open buffet that includes Mix grilled, Salads, Desserts, and all. In addition, the Ladies Khaliji Dance will keep you entertained. At last, you will be returned to the select location or hotel.

Unforgettable journey
This is the most amazing journey I have had during my trip in Dubai. My family loves it, the exciting desert safari, beautiful sunset views, the amazing food and shows, and most importantly the kindly and helpful guide from Salman Foji are mostly appreciated!

Desert Safari Experience
Driver/Guide Kamran was the best! From pickup at hotel until evening return. He knew all the best places to stop, routes through the sands that were the most fun, arranged for the best table for the shows and made sure that our group knew everything that was going on and available to us.

Dune bashing & co
It was very nice !!! Everything was fine. But By Law all entertainments and celebrations such as the camp shows (Tanora & Belly Dance) were banned until the end of March due to the outbreak of Covid-19. That was a little fail but the tour guide (Roshin) was really really good!!!!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. Regards Angela | Dubai Packages

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ Dinner 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 Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ Dinner 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 Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 209 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 Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ 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 Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. 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 Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ Dinner?
+
Around 73 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 Dubai: Adventure Evening Desert Safari, Camel Ride, Shows & BBQ 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.
