Ahsan was our driver and he was as very kind and picked me and my friend up punctually from our residence. We were offered water a lot throughout the journey and he was very helpful during activities. The trip was definitely worth it and the activities were unforgettable ! 10/10 experience.

Rude Guide, most of the time was in the car, and activities not what you think
If you’re wondering if you should book this tour, the answer is no. If you’re wondering why, read on: Abdullah picked us up and we were crammed into the third row of an SUV. Me and my friend are both well over 6 feet tall, so this was incredibly uncomfortable for what turned out to be a ~2 hour drive each way. Abdullah always seemed to be in a massive hurry, honking, tailgating, and swerving throughout the bumpy ride. When we finally arrived at our first stop (ATVs), Abdullah just kept barking orders such as “You Go Now. Hurry! Not fast enough!” It was like we were cattle. The falcon picture was him shoving kids out of the way so we could take about 10 seconds for a picture before he starting barking at us again to get to the ATVs. ATVs by far were the best part, and our ATV guide (different than Abdullah) was great. Amazing experience! After that we were loaded back in the car and drove another ~60 minutes for the “dinner show.” When we got there Abdullah asked if anyone wanted to ride a camel, and then got annoyed when we said yes (that was part of the package). The camel ride lasted all of 10 seconds (I’m not exaggerating), just enough time for them so snap a picture to try to sell you later. The dinner show was a disappointment. It had a very low-budget corporate feel and the performances felt like something you could learn on YouTube in a day. I’m not trying to sound pessimistic here…but it was bad. The food was decent though, it was buffet style. There were probably ~300 people there from all different types of groups. I thought it was a small group in the desert, so maybe I was mistaken about that. But either way, disappointing from what I expected. The entire day I kept thinking “Wow how was this 5 stars??” My answer came when Abdullah was putting air back in the tires after off-roading. Since I was in the third row and the trunk was open, he came around back and sent me a WhatsApp message with review links and said “I sent you link. Review now please. 5 stars only.” I was tired and not about to leave a 5 stars only review, so I said I would do it later. He barked back “No, you do it now! 5 stars.” This went back and forth for a few more times while he grew more aggressive, before I firmly told him I was not leaving a review and he needed to leave me alone. While he was driving, I saw him delete the message from WhatsApp that had the review links in them. It’s too bad for him I could still find them…There was a lot of traffic and it took us another 90 minutes to get home. If you have another guide it would certainly be better. Abdullah was the rudest person we encountered on our entire 2 week long Dubai trip. But even with a different guide, this was a long time crammed in the third row of an SUV for a very sub-par experience, save the ATVs (which, like I said, were a blast)! I wouldn’t trust the other reviews, given they were almost certainly written under duress. I would look elsewhere.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows 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 Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 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 Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows?
+
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 Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. 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 Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows?
+
Around 37 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 Desert Quad Bike Tour (1 Hour) BBQ , Camel Ride & 5 Shows 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.
