I did the desert Safari...
I did the desert Safari in Dubai during my layover with adventure tracks. The company accommodated letter pick up for me as I landed in Dubai late. But is it Safari was 1 1/2 hour drive from Dubai and it was very enjoyable. Terrified, bashing, sunset photo. And barbecue buffet dinner with some entertainment. The Dune Bash, with our driver cum guide, Mr. Shomir was thrilling and was the main attraction of this tour. Mr. Shomir have been a great guide and have made my trip too much fun. It was great for the price.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear you had a positive experience. Your support motivates us to continue providing the best service possible. Looking forward to serving you again!

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubai Desert Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Desert Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $22 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 Safari 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 Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 56 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 Safari?
+
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 Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai Desert Safari?
+
Around 20 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 Safari 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.
What is included in Dubai Desert Safari?
+
Included: Fresh Fruits; Free Henna Tattoos; Sand boarding; Unlimited Soft Drinks, Water, Tea, Coffee; and Buffet Dinner with barbecue and sweet dishes. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Shisha on table; and VIP Sitting Service. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Dubai Desert Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1416 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Dubai Desert Safari offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dubai Desert Safari?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Dubai Desert Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Dubai Desert Safari if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
