    Overall good experience, BUT 🫤

    We booked morning desert safari and Dubai city tour via Klook. Both handled by orient tours for us. I had done dune bashing in other countries in past but here it was definitely a level up with our driver Masuood. It was super FUN and exciting. Make sure you use seat belts while safari. Pickup was right on time. Thanks Masuood for ADVENTURE ride. BUT remaining part of desert safari was CRAP and waste of money. We went to camel camp for refreshments and sand boarding. Refreshments - Coke/sprite and that is fine. But what they served as Arabian coffee was very BAD. I had Arabian coffee at hotel to get real taste of it. Sheesha I didn't try considering the it's pipe was in camp guy's mouth when we reached. SAND BOARDS were OLD and rugged, not skidding at all. Wasted a lot of time there. When we complained to camp people they gave a candle sticks and asked to rub it on back of board which didn't work, and they disappeared waiting for us to leave. It was an utter disappointment. We had some friends at hotel who books through other operators and had very good sand boarding experience. Coming to city tour. It was good experience. The tour guide told a lot of things about the city and places during the tour. You get a good look of Dubai frame and future museum on the way. We had photo stops at beach and creek. It ended with spice and gold souk visit, which are adjacent to each other.

    Response from the operator: Dear at738574, We feel sorry about the experience you had and will forward your feedback to the concerned team. Best Regards, Guest Relations Executive ORIENT TOURS LLC

    Really fun!

    The driver came right on time to the hotel. He was very friendly. The sandboarding in the desert was so much fun, and falling wasn’t bad because the sand was pillowy soft. The falcon show was impressive. The drive through the dunes was like a 30 minute roller coaster ride, it was definitely an adrenaline rush. The camel ride was nice quick and easy. The hookah (shisha) and coffee area was comfortable. The breakfast left something to be desired. It was just scrambled eggs, sliced bread (like wonder bread), yogurt, and bottles of juice. Bring snacks if you’re the snacking type, because the breakfast wasn’t anything to brag about.

    Response from the operator: Dear helenaf285, Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about your Desert Safari you recently joined with us. It was a pleasure having you with us. We are glad to read that you enjoyed the safari and with our safari guide. We shall forward your amazing feedback to him to motivate him to continue providing the same level of service to his future guests. We would love to see you on one of our tours/safaris soon again. Thank you for taking the time to review us! Best regards, Sarah P. Dubke Manager Guest Services ORIENT TOURS LLC

    Must do activity

    The driver (Shaik Javed) /tour guide was very nice. He came to our hotel right on time. He is also a safe driver. On our way to the desert, he gave good overview of Dubai and also the safari. Overall, we think he is excellent and had a good experience with this company.

    Dubai combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dubai combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 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 combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour?

    +

    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 combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dubai combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dubai combo: Morning Desert Safari Experience & Dubai City Sightseeing Tour 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.
