Best family desert safari tour ever
I've been to Dubai before and done a desert safari, but this time , it was just amazing . I believe that yoir desert safari tour is only as good as yoir tour guide. Nawaz was nothing short of amazing . He made sure my family of six had the best experience. From pick up, to helping navigate the experience with great suggestions . The drive through the sand was breath taking. We all enjoyed the drifting around on the sand . Did I mention that he is also an amazing photographer. I mean, we had a full package experience. Anyone looking to travel keep in mind they during the summer you will have less crowd to deal with so , granted of you come in the fall, it's more beautiful with blue skies and cooler ,but the whole planet comes to Dubai at that time. Book evening tours since is cooler . All in all we are happy clients and we are definitely coming back and looking for Nawaz. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thrilling desert safari .
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear that this desert safari was such an amazing experience for you, even having done it before. It’s wonderful to know that Nawaz made such a positive impact on your adventure. We’re delighted that he could ensure your family of six had the best time, from the pick-up to the thrilling sand drives and capturing those memorable moments with his photography. Your advice about traveling during the summer and booking evening tours is greatly appreciated and will surely help other travelers make the most of their visit. We’re glad you enjoyed the less crowded experience and the cooler evening temperatures. On the other hand, we also conduct early morning trip for those who loves to see the desert early. Both are fine during summer Thank you for your kind words and for highly recommending Nawaz. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another thrilling desert safari with us. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we look forward to providing you with more unforgettable experiences in the future!

Some awful, some great, overall fine
The city tour and desert safari are a lot to do in one day but if that’s all you got, go for it. The city tour was average but the guide was very, very nice. You basically drive around and the guide will point out landmarks then drop you off to wander on your own for 15-20 minutes. We never did go to the Dubai Museum or Dubai Heritage Village. The terrible stop was an “art museum” which was actually a very thinly veiled sales pitch to buy expensive things. I felt like a lamb that has been duped into walking into the slaughterhouse. An offensive waste of time and a betrayal of my trust in this tour operator. After the city tour, you will dropped off and left to wander around and try to find your guide for the desert safari. For the desert safari, I was fortunate enough to get Naveed as my guide. He was so sweet, considerate and took great care of me. I ended up on tour with a group of five guys who might not have been happy to see me at first but we ended up all good friends. Naveed made sure we didn’t get ripped off anywhere and was an awesome dune bashing driver. The best part of the desert safari was Naveed and the dune buggy experience. The worst part was the flat tire (which took forever to fix on the highway in the heat) and ultimately TEN HOURS straight of zero food. When we finally got food at the Oasis Palm, it wasn’t even good (and I was literally starving). After the flat tire debacle, I had to buy my own water and water for the guys. I’m not sure how the tour operator thinks it’s a good experience to go ten hours without sustenance. I would have given this an even lower rating but I didn’t want to do that to Naveed because he was awesome!
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback regarding your experience on our Dubai City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner – Combo tour. We sincerely appreciate both your positive comments and constructive observations. We regret that certain aspects of the city tour, including the souvenir stop and some parts of the itinerary, did not fully meet your expectations. Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with the relevant team as we continuously work to improve our guest experience. At the same time, we are delighted to hear that Mr. Naveed made your Desert Safari experience memorable. We will certainly pass your wonderful compliments on to him. It is rewarding to know that his professionalism, hospitality, and driving skills helped turn your day into a more enjoyable experience. Thank you once again for sharing your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide an even better experience in the future. Warm regards, Saifco Travel & Tourism Team

Dubai City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo cost?
+
Prices start at $105 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 City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 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 City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo?
+
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 City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo?
+
Around 6 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai City Tour with Evening Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner-Combo 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.
